  1. The C++ standard does not specify the size of integral types in bytes, but it specifies a minimum width in bits (see [basic.types.fundamental] p1).You can infer minimum size in bytes from that and the value of the CHAR_BIT macro that defines the number of bits in a byte.

  2. Jul 6, 2024 · std::byte is a distinct type that implements the concept of byte as specified in the C++ language definition. Like unsignedchar, it can be used to access raw memory occupied by other objects (object representation), but unlike unsignedchar, it is not a character type and is not an arithmetic type. std::byte models a mere collection of bits ...

  3. Feb 13, 2014 · The size of an int is really compiler dependent. Back in the day, when processors were 16 bit, an int was 2 bytes. Nowadays, it's most often 4 bytes on a 32-bit as well as 64-bit systems. Still, using sizeof (int) is the best way to get the size of an integer for the specific system the program is executed on.

  4. In C++, a byte is the space occupied by a char object. The number of bits in a byte is given by CHAR_BIT, which is defined in climits and required to be at least 8. While most modern systems have 8-bit bytes, and POSIX requires CHAR_BIT to be exactly 8, there are some systems where CHAR_BIT is greater than 8 i.e a single byte may be comprised ...

  5. Aug 13, 2024 · Besides the minimal bit counts, the C++ Standard guarantees that 1 == sizeof (char) ≤ sizeof (short) ≤ sizeof (int) ≤ sizeof (long) ≤ sizeof (long long). Note: this allows the extreme case in which bytes are sized 64 bits, all types (including char) are 64 bits wide, and sizeof returns 1 for every type. Floating-point types

    The C++ language gives the programmer the impression that memory is laid out as a sequence of something C++ calls “bytes.”. Each of these things that the C++ language calls a byte has at least 8 bits, but might have more than 8 bits. The C++ language guarantees that a char* (char pointers) can address individual bytes.

  8. Aug 16, 2021 · A size modifier specifies the width in bits of the integer representation used. The language supports short, long, and long long modifiers. A short type must be at least 16 bits wide. A long type must be at least 32 bits wide. A long long type must be at least 64 bits wide. The standard specifies a size relationship between the integral types:
