Boolean type

bool - Typ, kann einen von den zwei Werten speichern: true or false.

Character types

signed char - type for signed character representation.

unsigned char - type for unsigned character representation.

char - type for character representation which can be most efficiently processed on the target system (equivalent to either signed char or unsigned char).

wchar_t - type for wide character representation

char16_t - type for UTF-16 character representation (seit C++11)

char32_t - type for UTF-32 character representation (seit C++11)

Integer types

int - basic integer type. Can be omitted if any of the modifiers are present. If no length modifiers are present, guaranteed to have width of at least 16 bits. However, on 32/64 bit systems it is almost exclusively guaranteed to have width of at least 32 bits (see below).

Modifiers

Modifies the integer type. Can be mixed in any order. Only one of each group can be present in type definition.

Signedness

signed - target type will have signed representation (this is the default if omitted)

unsigned - target type will have unsigned representation

Size

short - target type will be optimized for space and will have width of at least 16 bits.

long - target type will have width of at least 32 bits.

long long - target type will have width of at least 64 bits (seit C++11)

Properties

The following table summarizes all available integer types and their properties:

Type specifier	Equivalent type	Width in bits by data model
Type specifier	Equivalent type	C++ standard	LP32	ILP32	LLP64	LP64
`short`	`short int`	at least 16	16	16	16	16
`short int`
`signed short`
`signed short int`
`unsigned short`	`unsigned short int`
`unsigned short int`	`unsigned short int`
`int`	`int`	at least 16	16	32	32	32
`signed`
`signed int`
`unsigned`	`unsigned int`
`unsigned int`	`unsigned int`
`long`	`long int`	at least 32	32	32	32	64
`long int`
`signed long`
`signed long int`
`unsigned long`	`unsigned long int`
`unsigned long int`	`unsigned long int`
`long long`	`long long int` (C++11)	at least 64	64	64	64	64
`long long int`
`signed long long`
`signed long long int`
`unsigned long long`	`unsigned long long int` (C++11)
`unsigned long long int`	`unsigned long long int` (C++11)

Note: the C++ Standard guarantees that 1 == sizeof(char) <= sizeof(short) <= sizeof(int) <= sizeof(long) <= sizeof(long long).

Floating point types

float - single precision floating point type. Usually IEEE-754 32 bit floating point type

double - double precision floating point type. Usually IEEE-754 64 bit floating point type

long double - extended precision floating point type. Does not necessarily map to types mandated by IEEE-754. Usually 80-bit x87 floating point type on x86 and x86-64 architectures.

Range of values

The following table provides a reference for limits of common numeric representations. Note, that all popular data models (including all of ILP32, LP32, LP64, LLP64) use two's complement arithmetic. Also, the C++ Standard does not specify which arithmetic would be used, thus it guarantees only the limits of one's complement arithmetic.
