Well, the C99 standard says it is defined in <stdint.h>.  It also says

'C++ implementations should define these macros only when _ 
_STDC_LIMIT_MACROS is defined before <stdint.h> is included.'

just in case you are using a C++ compiler.

The standards are linked from developer.r-project.org, BTW.
