  Macros for integer constants
C++ implementations should define these macros only when __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS is defined before <stdint.h> is included.

These definitions are valid for integer constants without suffix and for macros defined as integer constant without suffix
#define INT8_C(value) ((int8_t) value)

#define INT16_C(value) value

Detailed Description

#include <stdint.h>

Use [u]intN_t if you need exactly N bits.

Since these typedefs are mandated by the C99 standard, they are preferred over rolling your own typedefs.
