Where is ptrdiff_t defined in C?
Question
Where is ptrdiff_t
defined in C? If non-trivial, how can I make this type visible from GCC on Linux?
Solution
It's defined in stddef.h
.
That header defines the integral types size_t
, ptrdiff_t
, and wchar_t
, the functional macro offsetof
, and the constant macro NULL
.
OTHER TIPS
It is defined by the POSIX standard: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/stddef.h.html Where the type is exactly may be implemetation-specific, but interface is stddef.h
Since @Good Person said this wasn't specific to Linux, in Microsoft Visual Studio, ptrdiff_t
is defined in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.15.26726\include\vcruntime.h
