Not any. Ones that do not fit into range of int but do fit into the range
of unsigned are.
Really, folks, it's not _that_ hard:
Type sequence: int, unsigned int, long, unsigned long, long long,
unsigned long long.
With U suffix => don't bother with signed types
Without U suffix, decimal => don't bother with _un_signed types
With L suffix => don't bother with anything earlier than long
With LL suffix => don't bother with anything earlier than long long
Pick the first type that covers your value; that will be it.
In particular, 0x[0-9A-Fa-f]+ == try *everything*.
