Error during compilation for NodeMCU (12.1E)

[sariyamon]

I am working on ArduinoIoTColud project and I'm using the auto-generated script from the ArduinoIotCloud.
The following error occurred during the compilation.

Code

Looks like your C99 support library (inttypes.h) is broken. Can you try to compile this simple application and let me know of the results:

#include <inttypes.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    uint64_t u = UINT64_MAX;
    int64_t i = INT64_MIN;
    printf("u = %" PRIu64 "; i = %" PRId64 "\n", u, i);
}

I had a similar error when compiling tinycbor for a pico2 project. The same happened for the Pico SDK and they found a workaround for it (raspberrypi/pico-sdk#1690). Tested it locally and by adding #include <sys/types.h> before #include "inttypes.h" in cborpretty.c and cbortojson.c fixes the issue.

// Include sys/types.h before inttypes.h to work around issue with
// certain versions of GCC and newlib which causes omission of PRIx64
#include <sys/types.h>
#include "inttypes.h"

Not a lot experience with Pull Request jet, will see if I can make one.

[thiagomacieira]

Should be simple. Just add/move the #include <sys/types.h> to the necessary files. The comment isn't necessary, I know sys/types.h almost always needs to be the first #include. It's just I hadn't encountered this problem in 15 years, so it slipped my mind.
