我正在寻找关于基本c++类型大小的详细信息。 我知道这取决于架构(16位、32位、64位)和编译器。

但是c++有标准吗?

我在32位架构上使用Visual Studio 2008。以下是我得到的答案:

char  : 1 byte
short : 2 bytes
int   : 4 bytes
long  : 4 bytes
float : 4 bytes
double: 8 bytes

我试图在不同的架构和编译器下找到char、short、int、long、double、float(以及其他我没有想到的类型)的大小的可靠信息,但没有多大成功。


当前回答

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。

其他回答

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。

你可以使用:

cout << "size of datatype = " << sizeof(datatype) << endl;

Datatype = int, long int等。 您将能够看到您键入的任何数据类型的大小。

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。

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。

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。
