A reasonable method of defining an integral that includes the HK integral is to say a Schwartz distribution $f$ is integrable if it is the distributional derivative of a continuous function $F$. Then the integral $(D)\int^b_a f=F(b)-F(a)$. The resulting space of integrable distributions is a Banach space that includes the space of HK integrable functions and is isometrically isomorphic (with Alexiewicz norm) to the continuous functions vanishing at $a$ (with uniform norm).

If $F=C$ is the Cantor(the Devil's staircase) function and $\langle C'\rangle$ (we use notation $\langle C'\rangle$ to avoid confusion and in some situation $C'$) is the distributional derivative of $C$, then

$(D)\int^0_1 \langle C'\rangle=C(1)-C(0)=1-0=1$. Note that $\langle C'\rangle$ is a measure.

If here $C'$ denotes derivative in classical sense then $C'=0$ a.e. and $(HK)\int^0_1 C'=0$.

Suppose $F$ is continuous on $[a,b]$. Also suppose $f(t)=F'(t)$ exists except on a countable set $Q=(c_k)$; define $f$ arbitrarily on $Q$. Then

Then $\int_a^t f(x) dx $ exists and equals $F(t)-F(a)$.
