PIMeval & PIMbench: Improving Portablity of Print Statements

[fasiddique]

uint64_t types in PIMeval and PIMbench are currently being printed using format specifiers like %lld or %lu. While some compilers handle this without warnings, others produce warnings due to incorrect format specifiers for uint64_t. To ensure portability and avoid such warnings, the recommended approach is to use the <cinttypes> header and print using:

printf("%" PRIu64 "\n", value);

This ensures the code is portable across different platforms and compilers, which may have different representations for uint64_t.

Proposed Solution:

• Replace all occurrences of %lld or %lu used for uint64_t with %" PRIu64 " as defined in <cinttypes>.
• Ensure that <cinttypes> is included wherever uint64_t is printed.
