<stdint.h>

The <stdint.h> include file declares sets of integer types that have specified widths and defines corresponding sets of macros. It also defines macros that specify limits of integer types corresponding to the types defined in other standard include files.

The following exact-width integer types are defined:

int8_t
int16_t
int32_t
int64_t
uint8_t
uint16_t
uint32_t
uint64_t

The following minimum-width integer types are defined:

int_least8_t
int_least16_t
int_least32_t
int_least64_t
uint_least8_t
uint_least16_t
uint_least32_t
uint_least64_t

The following fastest minimum-width integer types are defined:

int_fast8_t
int_fast16_t
int_fast32_t
int_fast64_t
uint_fast8_t
uint_fast16_t
uint_fast32_t
uint_fast64_t

The following greatest-width integer types are defined:

intmax_t
uintmax_t

The following macros are defined for limits of exact-width integer types (See note 1):

INT8_MAX
INT8_MIN
INT16_MAX
INT16_MIN
INT32_MAX
INT32_MIN
INT64_MAX
INT64_MIN
UINT8_MAX
UINT16_MAX
UINT32_MAX
UINT64_MAX

The following macros are defined for limits of minimum-width integer types (See note 1):

INT_LEAST8_MAX
INT_LEAST8_MIN
INT_LEAST16_MAX
INT_LEAST16_MIN
INT_LEAST32_MAX
INT_LEAST32_MIN
INT_LEAST64_MIN
INT_LEAST64_MIN
UINT_LEAST8_MAX
UINT_LEAST16_MAX
UINT_LEAST32_MAX
UINT_LEAST64_MAX

The following macros are defined for limits of fastest minimum-width integer types (See note 1):

INT_FAST8_MAX
INT_FAST8_MIN
INT_FAST16_MAX
INT_FAST16_MIN
INT_FAST32_MAX
INT_FAST32_MIN
INT_FAST64_MIN
INT_FAST64_MIN
UINT_FAST8_MAX
UINT_FAST16_MAX
UINT_FAST32_MAX
UINT_FAST64_MAX

The following macros are defined for limits of greatest-width integer types (See note 1):

INTMAX_MIN
INTMAX_MAX
UINTMAX_MAX

The following macros are defined for limits for other integer types (See note 1):

PTRDIFF_MAX
PTRDIFF_MIN
SIG_ATOMIC_MAX
SIG_ATOMIC_MIN
SIZE_MAX
WCHAR_MAX
WCHAR_MIN
WINT_MAX
WINT_MIN

The following macros are defined for minimum-width integer constant expressions (See note 2):

INT8_C
INT16_C
INT32_C
INT64_C
UINT8_C
UINT16_C
UINT32_C
UINT64_C

The following macros are defined for greatest-width integer constant expressions (See note 2):

INTMAX_C
UINTMAX_C
Notes:
  1. These macros are defined for C programs. They are defined for C++ only when __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS is defined before <stdint.h> is included.
  2. These macros are defined for C programs. They are defined for C++ only when __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS is defined before <stdint.h> is included.
