What does the C++ standard state the size of int, long type to be?

Question

I\'m looking for detailed information regarding the size of basic C++ types. I know that it depends on the architecture (16 bits, 32 bits, 64 bits) and the compiler.

Answer 1

As you mentioned - it largely depends upon the compiler and the platform. For this, check the ANSI standard, http://home.att.net/~jackklein/c/inttypes.html

Here is the one for the Microsoft compiler: Data Type Ranges.
