What are "extended integer types"?
c, c99, gcc
Solution
An example of the extended integer type is the `__int64` 64-bit signed integer type defined by MS Visual C. While this type is obviously an integral type, in older versions of MSVC it could not be obtained as `int`, `long int`, nor `long long int`. (MSVC added support for `long long int` in the meantime.)
Problem
Quoting from the book I'm reading: - `signed char, signed short int, signed int, signed long int, signed long long int` are called standard signed integer types - `unsigned char, unsigned short int, unsigned int, unsigned long int, unsigned long long int, _Bool` are called standard unsigned integer types - In addition to the standard integer types, the C99 standard allows implementation-defined extended integer types, both signed and unsigned. For example, a compiler might be provide signed and unsigned 128-bit integer types. I've problem with 3rd point. What are these "extended integer types"? Any examples?
