Integer Type Selection in C++: in Safe, Secure and Correct Code - Robert Seacord - CppNow 2023
Slides: https://github.com/boostcon/cppnow_pr...
---

Proper integer type selection is a poorly understood topic which has lead to the standardization of problematic interfaces in C++, poorly designed safety requirements, and confusion amongst developers. This talk will help you determine which integer types to select, when to select them, and why. This presentation will cover such topics as signed versus unsigned integers and the use and misuse of exact width integers. We will discuss safety and security concerns associated with incorrect integer type selection.
