This header was originally in the C standard library as <stddef.h>.

This header is part of the utility library.

Macros

implementation-defined null pointer constant
(macro constant)
byte offset from the beginning of a standard-layout type to specified member
(function macro)

Types

unsigned integer type returned by the sizeof operator
(typedef)
signed integer type returned when subtracting two pointers
(typedef)
(C++11)
the type of the null pointer literal nullptr
(typedef)
trivial type with alignment requirement as great as any other scalar type
(typedef)
(C++17)
the byte type
(enum)
