	4644	The macro '%1s' could conflict in the future with the name of a typedef in '<%2s>'.

Identifiers		REFERENCE - ISO:C90-7.13 Future Library Directions, ISO:C99-7.26 Future Library Directions

This macro name is a reserved identifier It could be introduced as a typedef in a future revision of the specified system library file.

Identifiers of this form are described in the ISO:C99 standard in Section 7.26 - Future Library Directions.

Names to avoid are:

Names beginning with int and ending in _t may be added to <stdint.h>.
Names beginning with uint and ending in _t may be added to <stdint.h>.

Although these names may not currently be used in the standard library, they might be in the future and it is therefore best to avoid them.

For example:


/*PRQA S 553,2017 ++*/

#define intabc_t            /* Message 4644 - A typedef of this name could be defined in a future revision of <stdint.h>   */
#define uintABC_t           /* Message 4644 - A typedef of this name could be defined in a future revision of <stdint.h>   */
