stdint.h - integer types
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <stdint.h>
Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
ISO C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature test
macro (see the System Interfaces volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,
Section 2.2, The Compilation Environment) to enable the visibility of these
symbols in this header.
The
<stdint.h> header shall declare sets of integer types having
specified widths, and shall define corresponding sets of macros. It shall also
define macros that specify limits of integer types corresponding to types
defined in other standard headers.
- Note:
- The "width" of an integer type is the number of
bits used to store its value in a pure binary system; the actual type may
use more bits than that (for example, a 28-bit type could be stored in 32
bits of actual storage). An N-bit signed type has values in the
range -2** N-1 or 1-2**N-1 to 2** N-1-1, while an
N-bit unsigned type has values in the range 0 to 2** N-1.
Types are defined in the following categories:
- *
- Integer types having certain exact widths
- *
- Integer types having at least certain specified widths
- *
- Fastest integer types having at least certain specified
widths
- *
- Integer types wide enough to hold pointers to objects
- *
- Integer types having greatest width
(Some of these types may denote the same type.)
Corresponding macros specify limits of the declared types and construct suitable
constants.
For each type described herein that the implementation provides, the
<stdint.h> header shall declare that
typedef name and
define the associated macros. Conversely, for each type described herein that
the implementation does not provide, the
<stdint.h> header shall
not declare that
typedef name, nor shall it define the associated
macros. An implementation shall provide those types described as required, but
need not provide any of the others (described as optional).
When
typedef names differing only in the absence or presence of the
initial
u are defined, they shall denote corresponding signed and
unsigned types as described in the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard, Section
6.2.5; an implementation providing one of these corresponding types shall also
provide the other.
In the following descriptions, the symbol
N represents an unsigned
decimal integer with no leading zeros (for example, 8 or 24, but not 04 or
048).
- *
- Exact-width integer types
The
typedef name
int N _t designates a signed
integer type with width
N, no padding bits, and a two's-complement
representation. Thus,
int8_t denotes a signed integer type with a width
of exactly 8 bits.
The
typedef name
uint N _t designates an unsigned
integer type with width
N. Thus,
uint24_t denotes an unsigned
integer type with a width of exactly 24 bits.
The following types are required:
int8_t
int16_t
int32_t
uint8_t
uint16_t
uint32_t
If an implementation provides integer types with width 64 that meet these
requirements, then the following types are required:
int64_t
uint64_t
In particular, this will be the case if any of the following are true:
- *
- The implementation supports the _POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG
programming environment and the application is being built in the
_POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG programming environment (see the Shell and
Utilities volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, c99,
Programming Environments).
- *
- The implementation supports the _POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64
programming environment and the application is being built in the
_POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64 programming environment.
- *
- The implementation supports the _POSIX_V6_LPBIG_OFFBIG
programming environment and the application is being built in the
_POSIX_V6_LPBIG_OFFBIG programming environment.
All other types of this form are optional.
- *
- Minimum-width integer types
The
typedef name
int_least N _t designates a signed
integer type with a width of at least
N, such that no signed integer
type with lesser size has at least the specified width. Thus,
int_least32_t denotes a signed integer type with a width of at least 32
bits.
The
typedef name
uint_least N _t designates an
unsigned integer type with a width of at least
N, such that no unsigned
integer type with lesser size has at least the specified width. Thus,
uint_least16_t denotes an unsigned integer type with a width of at
least 16 bits.
The following types are required:
int_least8_t int_least16_t
int_least32_t int_least64_t uint_least8_t
uint_least16_t uint_least32_t uint_least64_t
All other types of this form are optional.
- *
- Fastest minimum-width integer types
Each of the following types designates an integer type that is usually fastest
to operate with among all integer types that have at least the specified
width.
The designated type is not guaranteed to be fastest for all purposes; if the
implementation has no clear grounds for choosing one type over another, it
will simply pick some integer type satisfying the signedness and width
requirements.
The
typedef name
int_fast N _t designates the
fastest signed integer type with a width of at least
N. The
typedef name
uint_fast N _t designates the fastest
unsigned integer type with a width of at least
N.
The following types are required:
int_fast8_t int_fast16_t
int_fast32_t int_fast64_t uint_fast8_t
uint_fast16_t uint_fast32_t uint_fast64_t
All other types of this form are optional.
- *
- Integer types capable of holding object pointers
The following type designates a signed integer type with the property that any
valid pointer to
void can be converted to this type, then converted
back to a pointer to
void, and the result will compare equal to the
original pointer:
intptr_t
The following type designates an unsigned integer type with the property that
any valid pointer to
void can be converted to this type, then converted
back to a pointer to
void, and the result will compare equal to the
original pointer:
uintptr_t
On XSI-conformant systems, the
intptr_t and
uintptr_t types are
required; otherwise, they are optional.
- *
- Greatest-width integer types
The following type designates a signed integer type capable of representing any
value of any signed integer type:
intmax_t
The following type designates an unsigned integer type capable of representing
any value of any unsigned integer type:
uintmax_t
These types are required.
- Note:
- Applications can test for optional types by using the
corresponding limit macro from Limits of Specified-Width Integer Types .
The following macros specify the minimum and maximum limits of the types
declared in the
<stdint.h> header. Each macro name corresponds to
a similar type name in Integer Types .
Each instance of any defined macro shall be replaced by a constant expression
suitable for use in
#if preprocessing directives, and this expression
shall have the same type as would an expression that is an object of the
corresponding type converted according to the integer promotions. Its
implementation-defined value shall be equal to or greater in magnitude
(absolute value) than the corresponding value given below, with the same sign,
except where stated to be exactly the given value.

The following macros specify the minimum and maximum limits of integer types
corresponding to types defined in other standard headers.
Each instance of these macros shall be replaced by a constant expression
suitable for use in
#if preprocessing directives, and this expression
shall have the same type as would an expression that is an object of the
corresponding type converted according to the integer promotions. Its
implementation-defined value shall be equal to or greater in magnitude
(absolute value) than the corresponding value given below, with the same sign.
- *
- Limits of ptrdiff_t:
- {PTRDIFF_MIN}
-65535
- {PTRDIFF_MAX}
+65535
- *
- Limits of sig_atomic_t:
- {SIG_ATOMIC_MIN}
See below.
- {SIG_ATOMIC_MAX}
See below.
- *
- Limit of size_t:
- {SIZE_MAX}
65535
- *

See below.
- {WCHAR_MAX}
See below.
- *
- Limits of wint_t:
- {WINT_MIN}
See below.
- {WINT_MAX}
See below.
If
sig_atomic_t (see the
<signal.h> header) is defined as a
signed integer type, the value of {SIG_ATOMIC_MIN} shall be no greater than
-127 and the value of {SIG_ATOMIC_MAX} shall be no less than 127; otherwise,
sig_atomic_t shall be defined as an unsigned integer type, and the
value of {SIG_ATOMIC_MIN} shall be 0 and the value of {SIG_ATOMIC_MAX} shall
be no less than 255.
If
wchar_t (see the
<stddef.h> header) is defined as a
signed integer type, the value of {WCHAR_MIN} shall be no greater than -127
and the value of {WCHAR_MAX} shall be no less than 127; otherwise,
wchar_t shall be defined as an unsigned integer type, and the value of
{WCHAR_MIN} shall be 0 and the value of {WCHAR_MAX} shall be no less than 255.
If
wint_t (see the
<wchar.h> header) is defined as a signed
integer type, the value of {WINT_MIN} shall be no greater than -32767 and the
value of {WINT_MAX} shall be no less than 32767; otherwise,
wint_t
shall be defined as an unsigned integer type, and the value of {WINT_MIN}
shall be 0 and the value of {WINT_MAX} shall be no less than 65535.
The following macros expand to integer constant expressions suitable for
initializing objects that have integer types corresponding to types defined in
the
<stdint.h> header. Each macro name corresponds to a similar
type name listed under
Minimum-width integer types and
Greatest-width integer types.
Each invocation of one of these macros shall expand to an integer constant
expression suitable for use in
#if preprocessing directives. The type
of the expression shall have the same type as would an expression that is an
object of the corresponding type converted according to the integer
promotions. The value of the expression shall be that of the argument.
The argument in any instance of these macros shall be a decimal, octal, or
hexadecimal constant with a value that does not exceed the limits for the
corresponding type.
- *
- Macros for minimum-width integer constant expressions
The macro
INTN_C(
value) shall expand to an integer constant
expression corresponding to the type
int_least N _t. The
macro
UINTN_C(
value) shall expand to an integer constant
expression corresponding to the type
uint_least N _t. For
example, if
uint_least64_t is a name for the type
unsigned long
long, then
UINT64_C(0x123) might expand to the integer constant
0x123ULL.
- *
- Macros for greatest-width integer constant expressions
The following macro expands to an integer constant expression having the value
specified by its argument and the type
intmax_t: INTMAX_C(
value)
The following macro expands to an integer constant expression having the value
specified by its argument and the type
uintmax_t:
UINTMAX_C(
value)
The following sections are informative.
None.
The
<stdint.h> header is a subset of the
<inttypes.h>
header more suitable for use in freestanding environments, which might not
support the formatted I/O functions. In some environments, if the formatted
conversion support is not wanted, using this header instead of the
<inttypes.h> header avoids defining such a large number of
macros.
As a consequence of adding
int8_t, the following are true:
- *
- A byte is exactly 8 bits.
- *
- {CHAR_BIT} has the value 8, {SCHAR_MAX} has the value 127,
{SCHAR_MIN} has the value -127 or -128, and {UCHAR_MAX} has the value
255.
typedef names beginning with
int or
uint and ending with _t
may be added to the types defined in the
<stdint.h> header. Macro
names beginning with INT or UINT and ending with _MAX, _MIN, or _C may be
added to the macros defined in the
<stdint.h> header.
