<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>
In the synopsis, some types are identified as optional: <code>int8_t</code>, <code>int16_t</code>,
and so on, consistently with C99, indeed.
</p>
<p>
On the other hand, <code>intptr_t</code> and <code>uintptr_t</code>, are not marked as such and
probably should, consistently with C99, 7.18.1.4.
</p>


<p id="res-553"><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>
Change 17.4.1 <a href="https://wg21.link/cstdint.syn">[cstdint.syn]</a>:
</p>

<blockquote><pre>
...
typedef <i>signed integer type</i> intptr_t;    <ins><i>// optional</i></ins>
...
typedef <i>unsigned integer type</i> uintptr_t;    <ins><i>// optional</i></ins>
...
</pre></blockquote>



<p><b>Rationale:</b></p><p>
Recommend NAD and fix as editorial with the proposed resolution.
