    typedef /*implementation-defined*/ size_t;

    size_t is the unsigned integer type of the result of sizeof , _Alignof (since C11) and offsetof, depending on the data model.

    The bit width of size_t is not less than 16.

    		(since C99)

    Notes

    size_t can store the maximum size of a theoretically possible object of any type (including array).

    size_t is commonly used for array indexing and loop counting. Programs that use other types, such as unsigned int, for array indexing may fail on, e.g. 64-bit systems when the index exceeds UINT_MAX or if it relies on 32-bit modular arithmetic.

    Example

    코드 실행 
    #include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int main(void)
{
    const size_t N = 100;
    int numbers[N];
    for (size_t ndx = 0; ndx < N; ++ndx)
        numbers[ndx] = ndx;
    printf("SIZE_MAX = %zu\n", SIZE_MAX);
    size_t size = sizeof numbers;
    printf("size = %zu\n", size);
}

    Possible output: 

    SIZE_MAX = 18446744073709551615
size = 400
