Si está interesado en una solución pura de C ++, utilicé plantillas y solo código estándar de C ++ para definir tipos en tiempo de compilación en función de su tamaño de bits. Esto hace que la solución sea portátil en todos los compiladores.
La idea detrás es muy simple: cree una lista que contenga tipos char, int, short, long, long long (versiones con y sin signo) y escanee la lista y mediante el uso de la plantilla numeric_limits seleccione el tipo con el tamaño dado.
Incluyendo este encabezado tienes 8 tipos stdtype :: int8, stdtype :: int16, stdtype :: int32, stdtype :: int64, stdtype :: uint8, stdtype :: uint16, stdtype :: uint32, stdtype :: uint64.
Si algún tipo no se puede representar, se evaluará como stdtype :: null_type también declarado en ese encabezado.
EL CÓDIGO A CONTINUACIÓN SE OTORGA SIN GARANTÍA, POR FAVOR REVISE DOBLE.
SOY NUEVO EN METAPROGRAMMING TAMBIÉN, NO DEBE EDITAR Y CORREGIR ESTE CÓDIGO.
Probado con DevC ++ (por lo que una versión de gcc alrededor de 3.5)
