Limits of integer types

<climits> | |
CHAR_BIT |
number of bits in a byte (macro constant) |
MB_LEN_MAX |
maximum number of bytes in a multibyte character (macro constant) |
CHAR_MIN |
minimum value of char (macro constant) |
CHAR_MAX |
maximum value of char (macro constant) |
SCHAR_MINSHRT_MININT_MINLONG_MINLLONG_MIN (C++11) |
minimum value of signed char, short, int, long and long long respectively (macro constant) |
SCHAR_MAXSHRT_MAXINT_MAXLONG_MAXLLONG_MAX (C++11) |
maximum value of signed char, short, int, long and long long respectively (macro constant) |
UCHAR_MAXUSHRT_MAXUINT_MAXULONG_MAXULLONG_MAX (C++11) |
maximum value of unsigned char, unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long and unsigned long long respectively (macro constant) |
Note: the types of these constants, other than CHAR_BIT
and MB_LEN_MAX
, are required to match the results of the integral promotions as applied to objects of the types they describe: CHAR_MAX
may have type int or unsigned int, but never char. Similarly USHRT_MAX
may not be of an unsigned type: its type may be int.
