By definition, the types The C99 intmax_t and uintmax_t types are capable of representing any value representable by any other types of the same signedness. By using these types, the danger of truncation associated with the ambiguities of a change in platform or architecture, e.g. IA-32 to x86-64, can be mitigated.
