Main Page User Manual <stdint.h>: Standard Integer Types

Exact-width integer types

Integer types having exactly the specified width typedef signed char int8_t typedef unsigned char uint8_t typedef signed int int16_t typedef unsigned int uint16_t typedef signed long int int32_t typedef unsigned long int uint32_t typedef signed long long int int64_t typedef unsigned long long int uint64_t

Integer types capable of holding object pointers

These allow you to declare variables of the same size as a pointer. typedef int16_t intptr_t typedef uint16_t uintptr_t

Minimum-width integer types

Integer types having at least the specified width typedef int8_t int_least8_t typedef uint8_t uint_least8_t typedef int16_t int_least16_t typedef uint16_t uint_least16_t typedef int32_t int_least32_t typedef uint32_t uint_least32_t typedef int64_t int_least64_t typedef uint64_t uint_least64_t

Fastest minimum-width integer types

Integer types being usually fastest having at least the specified width typedef int8_t int_fast8_t typedef uint8_t uint_fast8_t

Greatest-width integer types

Types designating integer data capable of representing any value of any integer type in the corresponding signed or unsigned category typedef int64_t intmax_t typedef uint64_t uintmax_t

Limits of specified-width integer types

Macros for integer constants

C++ implementations should define these macros only when __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS is defined before <stdint.h> is included. These definitions are valid for integer constants without suffix and for macros defined as integer constant without suffix

Detailed Description
#include <stdint.h>

Use [u]intN_t if you need exactly N bits. Since these typedefs are mandated by the C99 standard, they are preferred over rolling your own typedefs.
