如果您对纯c++解决方案感兴趣，我使用模板和仅c++标准代码在编译时根据位大小定义类型。 这使得解决方案可以跨编译器移植。

背后的想法很简单:创建一个包含类型char, int, short, long, long long(有符号和无符号版本)的列表，然后扫描列表，并使用numeric_limits模板选择具有给定大小的类型。

包括这个头，你得到8类型stdtype::int8, stdtype::int16, stdtype::int32, stdtype::int64, stdtype::uint8, stdtype::uint16, stdtype::uint32, stdtype::uint64。

如果某些类型不能被表示，它将被计算为stdtype::null_type，也在该头文件中声明。

以下代码没有保修，请仔细检查。 我也是元编程的新手，请随意编辑和更正此代码。 使用devc++进行测试(因此gcc版本在3.5左右)

如前所述，大小应该反映当前的体系结构。如果你想知道当前编译器是如何处理的，你可以在limits.h中取一个峰值。

不，字体大小没有标准。标准只要求:

sizeof(short int) <= sizeof(int) <= sizeof(long int)

如果你想要一个固定大小的变量，你能做的最好的事情就是像这样使用宏:

#ifdef SYSTEM_X
  #define WORD int
#else
  #define WORD long int
#endif

然后可以使用WORD定义变量。不是说我喜欢这个，而是说这是最方便的方式。

更新:c++ 11将TR1中的类型正式引入标准:

Long Long int Unsigned long long int

以及<cstdint>中的"size "类型

int8_t int16_t int32_t int64_t (以及未签名的副本)。

另外，你会得到:

int_least8_t int_least16_t int_least32_t int_least64_t 加上未签名的对应项。

这些类型表示至少具有指定位数的最小整数类型。同样，也有“最快”的整数类型，至少具有指定的比特数:

int_fast8_t int_fast16_t int_fast32_t int_fast64_t 加上无符号的版本。

“快”意味着什么，如果有的话，取决于实现。它也不需要在所有方面都是最快的。

有标准。

C90标准要求

sizeof(short) <= sizeof(int) <= sizeof(long)

C99标准要求

sizeof(short) <= sizeof(int) <= sizeof(long) <= sizeof(long long)

这是C99的规格。第22页详细介绍了不同整型的大小。

下面是Windows平台的int类型大小(位):

Type           C99 Minimum     Windows 32bit
char           8               8
short          16              16
int            16              32
long           32              32
long long      64              64

如果你关心可移植性，或者你想要类型的名称反映大小，你可以查看头文件<inttypes.h>，其中有以下宏:

int8_t
int16_t
int32_t
int64_t

Int8_t保证为8位，int16_t保证为16位，以此类推。

实际上没有这样的事情。通常，std::size_t表示当前体系结构上的无符号本机整数大小。即16位、32位或64位，但并不总是如此，就像这个答案的评论中指出的那样。

至于所有其他内置类型，它实际上取决于编译器。以下是摘自最新c++标准的当前工作草案的两段摘录:

There are five standard signed integer types : signed char, short int, int, long int, and long long int. In this list, each type provides at least as much storage as those preceding it in the list. For each of the standard signed integer types, there exists a corresponding (but different) standard unsigned integer type: unsigned char, unsigned short int, unsigned int, unsigned long int, and unsigned long long int, each of which occupies the same amount of storage and has the same alignment requirements.

如果您愿意，您可以静态(编译时)断言这些基本类型的sizeof。如果假设的大小发生变化，它会提醒人们考虑移植您的代码。
