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.

Example

#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
