correctly, the most restrictive type is long long?
There is no way to tell. For a good guess, create an union containing
all integer types, all floating point types, a void pointer and a
function pointer and use it as the most restrictive type.
Of course, there is still the possibility that the most restrictive type
is an extended integer type, but this should not matter to portable code.
