Macros¶

Limits of specified-width integer types
C++ implementations should define these macros only when __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS is defined before <stdint.h> is included

#define INT8_MAX 0x7f
#define INT8_MIN (-INT8_MAX - 1)
#define UINT8_MAX (INT8_MAX * 2 + 1)
#define INT16_MAX 0x7fff
#define INT16_MIN (-INT16_MAX - 1)
#define UINT16_MAX (__CONCAT(INT16_MAX, U) * 2U + 1U)
#define INT32_MAX 0x7fffffffL
#define INT32_MIN (-INT32_MAX - 1L)
#define UINT32_MAX (__CONCAT(INT32_MAX, U) * 2UL + 1UL)
#define INT64_MAX 0x7fffffffffffffffLL
#define INT64_MIN (-INT64_MAX - 1LL)
#define UINT64_MAX (__CONCAT(INT64_MAX, U) * 2ULL + 1ULL)

Limits of minimum-width integer types

#define INT_LEAST8_MAX INT8_MAX
#define INT_LEAST8_MIN INT8_MIN
#define UINT_LEAST8_MAX UINT8_MAX

Limits of greatest-width integer types

#define INTMAX_MAX INT64_MAX
#define INTMAX_MIN INT64_MIN
#define UINTMAX_MAX UINT64_MAX

Limits of other integer types
C++ implementations should define these macros only when __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS is defined before <stdint.h> is included

#define PTRDIFF_MAX INT16_MAX
#define PTRDIFF_MIN INT16_MIN
#define SIG_ATOMIC_MAX INT8_MAX
#define SIG_ATOMIC_MIN INT8_MIN
#define SIZE_MAX UINT16_MAX
#define WCHAR_MAX __WCHAR_MAX__
#define WCHAR_MIN __WCHAR_MIN__
#define WINT_MAX __WINT_MAX__
#define WINT_MIN __WINT_MIN__

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

#define INT8_C(value) ((int8_t) value)
#define UINT8_C(value) ((uint8_t) __CONCAT(value, U))
#define INT16_C(value) value
#define UINT16_C(value) __CONCAT(value, U)
#define INT32_C(value) __CONCAT(value, L)
#define UINT32_C(value) __CONCAT(value, UL)
#define INT64_C(value) __CONCAT(value, LL)
#define UINT64_C(value) __CONCAT(value, ULL)
#define INTMAX_C(value) __CONCAT(value, LL)
#define UINTMAX_C(value) __CONCAT(value, ULL)
