### [edit] Notes

Because C++ interprets a character immediately following a string literal as a user-defined string literal, C code such as printf("%"PRId64"\n",n); is invalid C++ and requires a space before `PRId64`.

The C99 standard suggests that C++ implementations should not define the above limit, constant, or format macros unless the macros `__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS`, `__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS` or `__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS` (respectively) are defined before including the relevant C header (`stdint.h` or `inttypes.h`). This recommendation was not adopted by any C++ standard and was removed in C11. However, some implementations (such as glibc 2.17) try to apply this rule, and it may be necessary to define the `__STDC` macros; C++ compilers may try to work around this by automatically defining them in some circumstances.

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <cstdio>
    #include <cinttypes>

    int main()
    {
        std::printf("%zu\n", sizeof(std::int64_t));
        std::printf("%s\n", PRId64);
        std::printf("%+" PRId64 "\n", INT64_MIN);
        std::printf("%+" PRId64 "\n", INT64_MAX);

        std::int64_t n = 7;
        std::printf("%+" PRId64 "\n", n);
    }

Possible output:

    8
    lld
    -9223372036854775808
    +9223372036854775807
    +7
