Sizety ¶

Meaning ¶

A sizety is either a longsety or a shortsety. The term follows the fashion of the Revised Report, where the suffix -ety means “or empty”.

For example, the sizety of a mode declared as long long bits is long long.

Usage ¶

This term is useful in order to inquiry the number of size modifiers some particular mode has, like in:

• “What is the sizety of file_size?”
• “The sizety was wrong, I changed it to long long.”

Note that this is not exactly the same than asking for the precision of FILE_SIZE. The sizety implies some particular precision, but only indirectly.

Syntax ¶

Simplified [RR 1.2.1.F]:

SIZETY :: long LONGSETY ; short SHORTSETY ; EMPTY.
