Compute the absolute value of an integral expression.
- Returns
- The return type of this macro is
uintmax_t
. It must be so, since if we have a two's complement representation the value -INTMAX_MIN
is not representable in intmax_t
.
EXPR is guaranteed to be evaluated exactly once.
This macro is preferable to the C99 function imaxabs
. That function forcibly returns a value of type intmax_t
, and might thus fail for INTMAX_MIN
.
