Is there 'byte' data type in C++?

Question

If exists is there header file to include?

This code give compilation error:

#include 

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    byte b         


        

Answer 1

Using C++11 there is a nice version for a manually defined byte type:

enum class byte : std::uint8_t {};

That's at least what the GSL does.

Starting with C++17 (almost) this very version is defined in the standard as std::byte (thanks Neil Macintosh for both).
