C data types in C++) defines macros for integer types and codice_53 header (codice_54 header in C++) defines macros for floating-point types. The actual values depend on the implementation. The C99 standard includes definitions of several new integer types to enhance the portability of programs. The already available basic integer types were deemed insufficient, because their actual sizes are implementation defined and may vary across different systems. The new types are especially useful in embedded environments where hardware usually supports only several types and that support varies between different environments. All new types are defined in codice_113 header (codice_114 header in C++) and
