Introduce print helper functions for int, uint, explicit int32, uint32,
int64 & uint64.

print_int used 'int' type internally, whereas print_uint used 'uint64_t'

These helper functions eventually call vfprintf(fp, fmt, args) which is
a variable argument list function and is dependent upon 'fmt' containing
correct information about the length of the passed arguments.

Unfortunately print_int v print_uint offered no clue to the programmer
that internally passed ints to print_uint were being promoted to 64bits,
thus the format passed in 'fmt' string vs the actual passed integer
could be different lengths.  This is even more interesting on big endian
architectures where 'vfprintf' would be looking in the middle of an
int64 type.

print_u/int now stick with native int size.  print_u/int32 & print
u/int64 functions offer explicit integer sizes.

To portably use these formats you should use the relevant PRIdN or PRIuN
formats as defined in inttypes.h

e.g.

print_uint64(PRINT_ANY, "refcnt", "refcnt %" PRIu64 " ", t->tcm_info)

You sent patches to both trees. That is not the correct protocol.
Choose one, get it reviewed.  iproute2-next will get merged from master (in fact
dave should be doing it regularly).

I got this from Dave "Kevin: I guess you need to split the patch. Extract the bug fix piece
and send for iproute2; enhancements go to iproute2-next.”

So I thought I was doing the right thing.

But to be blunt, I’m giving up now.

My comment was to send separate patches - bug fix only for iproute2
master and then a separate one for enhancements going to -next. If the
enhancements overlap the bug fix then it needs to wait for the merge.
This is really no different than what is often needed for net and net-next.

Ahh, okay.  Thanks David.  I understand now.  I don’t contribute to net/net-next so it’s a learning curve there as well :-)
