The type {{size_t}} generally covers the entire address space. \[[TR 24731-1|AA. C References#ISO ISO/IEC TR 24731-1-2007]\] introduces a new type {{rsize_t}}, defined to be {{size_t}} but explicitly used to hold the size of a single object. \[[ISO/IEC TR 24731-1-2007|AA. C References#ISO/IEC TR 24731-1-2007]\]. In code that documents this purpose by using the type {{rsize_t}}, the size of an object can be checked to verify that it is no larger than {{RSIZE_MAX}}, the maximum size of a normal single object, which provides additional input validation for library functions. See [STR07-A. Use TR 24731 for remediation of existing string manipulation code] for additional discussion of TR 24731-1. |
