当涉及到不同架构和不同编译器的内置类型时，只需在你的架构上用编译器运行以下代码，看看它输出了什么。下面是我的Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) 64位g++4.7.3输出。还请注意下面的回答，这就是为什么输出是这样排序的:

有五种标准的有符号整型:有符号char、short int、int、long int和long long int。在此列表中，每种类型提供的存储空间至少与列表中前面的类型相同。”

#include <iostream>

int main ( int argc, char * argv[] )
{
  std::cout<< "size of char: " << sizeof (char) << std::endl;
  std::cout<< "size of short: " << sizeof (short) << std::endl;
  std::cout<< "size of int: " << sizeof (int) << std::endl;
  std::cout<< "size of long: " << sizeof (long) << std::endl;
  std::cout<< "size of long long: " << sizeof (long long) << std::endl;

  std::cout<< "size of float: " << sizeof (float) << std::endl;
  std::cout<< "size of double: " << sizeof (double) << std::endl;

  std::cout<< "size of pointer: " << sizeof (int *) << std::endl;
}


size of char: 1
size of short: 2
size of int: 4
size of long: 8
size of long long: 8
size of float: 4
size of double: 8
size of pointer: 8

如果你需要固定大小的类型，使用类型像uint32_t(32位无符号整数)定义在stdint.h。它们在C99中指定。

根据大小有四种类型的整数:

短整数:2字节 长整数:4字节 Long Long integer: 8字节 整数:取决于编译器(16位、32位或64位)

你可以使用OpenGL、Qt等库提供的变量。

例如，Qt提供了qint8(保证在Qt支持的所有平台上都是8位的)、qint16、qint32、qint64、quint8、quint16、quint32、quint64等等。

在64位机器上:

int: 4
long: 8
long long: 8
void*: 8
size_t: 8

正如其他人回答的那样，“标准”都将大部分细节保留为“实现定义的”，只声明类型“char”的宽度至少为“char_bis”，并且“char <= short <= int <= long <= long long”(浮点数和双精度浮点数与IEEE浮点标准基本一致，长双精度浮点数通常与双精度浮点数相同——但在更当前的实现中可能更大)。

Part of the reasons for not having very specific and exact values is because languages like C/C++ were designed to be portable to a large number of hardware platforms--Including computer systems in which the "char" word-size may be 4-bits or 7-bits, or even some value other than the "8-/16-/32-/64-bit" computers the average home computer user is exposed to. (Word-size here meaning how many bits wide the system normally operates on--Again, it's not always 8-bits as home computer users may expect.)

If you really need a object (in the sense of a series of bits representing an integral value) of a specific number of bits, most compilers have some method of specifying that; But it's generally not portable, even between compilers made by the ame company but for different platforms. Some standards and practices (especially limits.h and the like) are common enough that most compilers will have support for determining at the best-fit type for a specific range of values, but not the number of bits used. (That is, if you know you need to hold values between 0 and 127, you can determine that your compiler supports an "int8" type of 8-bits which will be large enought to hold the full range desired, but not something like an "int7" type which would be an exact match for 7-bits.)

注意:使用了许多Un*x源包”。/configure”脚本，它将探测编译器/系统的功能，并输出一个合适的Makefile和config.h。您可以检查其中一些脚本，看看它们是如何工作的，以及它们如何探测编译器/系统功能，并遵循它们的指导。
