UINTMAX64 can never be generated

Open jbaublitz opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hi @emilio, while working on the fix for the case that wasn't handled in #2779, I noticed that bindgen can't support generating bindings for UINTMAX64. This is largely because all integers eventually get represented as an i64 so i64::MAX is the upper limit for u64 too. Is there any interest in a PR to support differentiating between u64 and i64 so that UINTMAX64 can be represented in bindgen?

:wave:

Right now, bindgen depends on cexpr to process object-like #define directives. AFAIK, that crate is abandoned and hasn't received any updates in 3 years. There's some ongoing work on migrating bindgen to cmacro which should handle such cases correctly.

Okay, is the work under control right now? I'm happy to help out, but if it's already in progress that's fine.
