Make stdint.h optional, allow to provide own type definitions
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm actively developing a game for a legacy system. The compiler does not provide stdint.h, which seems to be a requirement for stb_image.h.
Describe the solution you'd like It would be great if the library would offer the possibility to use own type definitions.
stb_image already HAS a path that uses its own type definitions. It is currently conditioned on compiling with Microsoft Visual C. You need to identify a preprocessor symbol we can use to identify your legacy compiler/platform.
Hi! I don't know if it makes sense to introduce a separate symbol for the preprocessor for each platform. This could certainly be done more generically. But if that is what is wanted, I would be happy to give it a try.
It doesn't make sense to me to put it on a generic #define that the user can flip, because then every user of the library has to write their own code to set it appropriately, and if they are cross-platform they may have to write conditional definitions. There are a lot more users then there are platforms, so it makes more sense for us to do the more complicated conditional work once than for every user to do it themselves.
