    \title Qt Type Declarations
 
    \brief The <QtTypes> header file includes Qt fundamental type declarations.
 
    The header file declares several type definitions that guarantee a
    specified bit-size on all platforms supported by Qt for various
    basic types, for example \l qint8 which is a signed char
    guaranteed to be 8-bit on all platforms supported by Qt. The
    header file also declares the \l qlonglong type definition for
    \c {long long int}.
 
    Several convenience type definitions are declared: \l qreal for \c
    double or \c float, \l uchar for \c {unsigned char}, \l uint for
    \c {unsigned int}, \l ulong for \c {unsigned long} and \l ushort
    for \c {unsigned short}.
 
    The header also provides series of macros that make it possible to print
    some Qt type aliases (qsizetype, qintptr, etc.) via a formatted output
    facility such as printf() or qDebug() without raising formatting warnings
    and without the need of a type cast.
