It would be nice to have (at least) some stdint.h types in ctypes: - uint8_t, int8_t - int16_t, uint16_t - int32_t, uint32_t - uint64_t, int64_t Attached fle is a Python implementation of that. stdint.h contains much more types, but I don't think that (u)int_leastXX_t/(u)int_fastXX_t are used in public structures/functions. Other interesting types/constants from stdint.h: - intptr_t / uintptr_t - (U)INT(8\|16\|32\|64)_(MIN\|MAX) - PTRDIFF_MAX

It would be nice to have (at least) some stdint.h types in ctypes:
- uint8_t, int8_t
- int16_t, uint16_t
- int32_t, uint32_t
- uint64_t, int64_t

Attached fle is a Python implementation of that.

stdint.h contains much more types, but I don't think that
(u)int_leastXX_t/(u)int_fastXX_t are used in public structures/functions.

Other interesting types/constants from stdint.h:
- intptr_t / uintptr_t
- (U)INT(8|16|32|64)_(MIN|MAX)
- PTRDIFF_MAX
