#include <inttypes.h>

int32_t i;
printf("%"PRId32"\n",i);

Those warnings are issued for a reason - int is not guaranteed to be 32
bits.  When using a 32-bit type, you should use the 32-bit type specifier
in printf (PRId32, PRIo32, PRIu32, PRIx32, PRIX32) rather than a the int
type specifier ("d", "o", "u", "x", "X").  Note that the PRI* macros are
string constants, and that C and C++ string concatenation rules are in use
here.
