Do you have a reference to this? Did they really decide to remove
intmax_t altogether?
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2498.pdf (dated
2020-02-29) is a proposal to keep (u)intmax_t but deprecate library
functions that depend on them. Removing (u)intmax_t altogether would
break existing code.
See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/PreFreiburg2020.htm
for some other similar proposals.
