Hi all, Just seeking some info here. The file stdint.h was part of the C99 standard and has types for integers of specified width and thus could be used to simplify some of the numpy configuration. I'm curious as to which compilers might be a problem and what folks think of that possibility. Chuck

MSVC 2008, which is the (still!) the standard compiler for Python <= 2.7, does not include that header. Newer MSVC versions do. However, I'm a big fan of stdint.h, so I think it should be used. I'll bet we can find a header file for MSVC 2008 that could be included with numpy.

There are stdint,h for msvc hanging around, like here: https://code.google.com/p/msinttypes/ David
