typedefs are not macros. You defined R1 as a typedef for (signed) int. You
cannot make it unsigned later.

Hence why <stdint.htypedefs uintN_t as well as intN_t.
Note that a C99 implementation with CHAR_BIT == 32 must
provide uint32_t, but it need not provide int32_t.

It must provide both.
7.18.1 Integer types
1 When typedef names differing only in the absence or presence of the
initial u are defined, they shall denote corresponding signed and
unsigned types as described in 6.2.5; an implementation providing one
of these corresponding types shall also provide the other.

If the implementation provides 32-bit integers without padding bits
and uses two's complement representation, both uint32_t and int32_t
must be provided, otherwise neither shall be provided; in no case can
one be provided without the other (7.18.1p1).

It says that if that _both_ uint32_t and int32_t exist,
they must be corresponding types. It does not say the
presence of uint32_t requires the corresponding signed
integer to be two's complement and without padding.

intN_t is *required* to be two's complement and without padding bits.

Let's say it does. Let's suppose int32_t is signed int.

I see nothing preventing the corresponding unsigned
int from having the range 0..INT_MAX.

If both exist, they must be corresponding types. That
does not imply that if one meets the relevant criteria
of an exact width integer type, so must the other.

I'm not seeing how you interpret the text. Could you give a concrete
example of an implementation you believe would be disallowed by "an
implementation providing one of these corresponding types shall also
provide the other"?

How about I provide you with allowed implementations that
don't meet your claim... :-)
Example 1:
CHAR_BIT == 8
sizeof(int) == 4
UINT_MAX == 4294967295
INT_MAX == 2147483647
INT_MIN == -2147483647 /* sm or 1c, not 2c */
Here, uint32_t exists as unsigned int and has a corresponding
type under 6.2.5, namely signed int. However, signed int does
not meet the criteria needed to be int32_t.
Example 2:
CHAR_BIT == 8
sizeof(int) == 4
INT_MAX == 2147483647
INT_MIN == -2147483647-1
UINT_MAX == 2147483647
Here, int32_t exists and is signed int and has a corresponding
type under 6.2.5, namely unsigned int. However unsigned int
does not meet the criteria needed to be uint32_t.
What 7.18.1 says is this that if int32_t is chosen as say
signed int, and both unsigned int and unsigned long meet all
other criteria for being uint32_t, then uint32_t must be
unsigned int. It cannot be not unsigned long because that
is not the corresponding type to int32_t/signed int under
6.2.5.

That does not help me understand your position. If they don't meet my
claim, which comes from the standard, they are not conforming
implementations, unless my claim is an incorrect interpretation. I am
trying to understand why you think it _is_ incorrect. Your examples show
why it _should be_ incorrect.

Perhaps I should have been clearer. I meant the
corresponding type under 6.2.5. An int must have a
corresponding unsigned int under 6.2.5. Similarly intN_t
must have a corresponding unsigned integer type under
6.2.5. That does not imply that intN_t's corresponding
integer type under 6.2.5 meets the criteria for uintN_t.
7.18.1p1 does not say that intN_t implies the presence of
uintN_t and vice versa. It say that if both exist,
then their corresponding types under 6.2.5 must be each
other.
If only one of intN_t or uintN exist for a given N,
7.18.1p1 does not apply.

I fail to see how what you wrote above has any impact on what the
standard says:
7.18.1p1:
"When typedef names differing only in the absence or presence of the
initial u are defined,
they shall denote corresponding signed and unsigned types as described
in 6.2.5;
an implementation providing one of these corresponding types shall
also provide the other."
I don't know how this could be any clearer. This requirement was
referenced in DR 269 by Clive Feather:
"...it can be derived from the requirement to provide both or neither
of these types..."
and there was no contradictory comment in the Committee Response.
Can you provide any normative text that contradicts this?
