What are "extended integer types"?
Extended integer types are implementation-specific integer types that are provided as an extension. Because almost everything about such extensions is implementation-defined, the standard can’t say much about them. However, a C++09 proposal provides a framework for implementing such extensions in a way that doesn’t interfere with the behavior of standard compliant programs.
you should refer this,which covers everything about extended integer types.
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.)
