Discussion:
In the synopsis, some types are identified as optional: int8_t, int16_t, and so on, consistently with C99, indeed.
On the other hand, intptr_t and uintptr_t, are not marked as such and probably should, consistently with C99, 7.18.1.4.
Proposed resolution:
Change 17.4.1 [cstdint.syn]:
... typedef signed integer type intptr_t; // optional ... typedef unsigned integer type uintptr_t; // optional ...
Rationale:
Recommend NAD and fix as editorial with the proposed resolution.
