A more portable way is to write
#ifndef CHAR_BIT
# define CHAR_BIT 8 /* true for any system created post-woodstock */
#endif
#ifndef INT_MAX
# define INT_MAX (1 < ((sizeof(int) * CHAR_BIT) - 1))
#endif
which always gets it right and works no matter the bitwidth of int on
your system.
The way with a fixed number will appear to work where int is 64-bit, but
can break subtly in an almost completely undebuggable way.
