C++11: intptr_t/int_ptr_t, intmax_t/int_max_t?

I am using C platform on Visual Studio. I want to know that intmax_t datatype is only used for Linux based programming or It is supported by C language(ANSI Language) as well.

Answer 1

Well, both intmax_t and uintmax_t are parts of C99, but some compilers actually need to be shimmed with something like this (or this) to use them. Quoting the main page of the first link here:

This project fills the absence of stdint.h and inttypes.h in Microsoft
Visual Studio. This files were standartized by ISO/IEC as a part of
C99 standard library. If you want to compile or use C99 compliant
project with Microsoft Visual Studio, you will likely find that you’re
missing these headers.
