Provides ML-equivalents of commonly used c types, type sizes and macros.

Aliases

Alias	Alias of
`c_void`	`void`
`c_char`	`int8`
`c_short`	`int16`
`c_int`	`int32`
`c_long`	`int32`
`c_long_long`	`int64`
`c_str`	`int8*`
`c_stream`	`FILE*`

Macros

Macro	Description
`null`	Null pointer constant
`stdin`	Standard input stream, used for reading conventional input
`stdout`	Standard output stream, used for writing conventional output
`stderr`	Standard error stream, used for writing diagnostic output
`c_ptr_size`	Size of the `void*` c primitive
`c_char_size`	Size of the `char` c primitive
`c_short_size`	Size of the `short` c primitive
`c_int_size`	Size of the `int` c primitive
`c_long_size`	Size of the `long` c primitive
`c_long_long_size`	Size of the `long long` c primitive

Warnings

Warning

The aliased ML-eqivalents of the c types behave like their fixed-length counterparts. Traditional c types sizes are implementation-defined. ML attempts to fix this problem once and for all.
