# UINT\_PTR

UINT\_PTR is an unsigned integer [memsize\-type](https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/terms/0030/) that can safely store a pointer regardless of the platform capacity\. UINT\_PTR is similar to the types [size\_t](https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/terms/0044/) and [uintptr\_t](https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/terms/0050/)\. The size of the type depends upon the [data model](https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/terms/0012/)\. To learn more about memsize types and ways of using them see the article "[About size\_t and ptrdiff\_t](https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/posts/cpp/a0050/)"\.
