Discussion:

There is a row in "Table 122 - Atomics for standard typedef types" in 99 [atomics.types.integral] with `atomic_ssize_t` and `ssize_t`. Unless, I'm missing something `ssize_t` is not defined by the standard.

[ Summit: ]

> Move to review. Proposed resolution: Remove the typedef. Note: `ssize_t` is a POSIX type.

[ Batavia (2009-05): ]

> We agree with the proposed resolution. Move to Tentatively Ready.

Proposed resolution:

Remove the row containing `ssize_t` from Table 119 "Atomics for standard typedef types" in 99 [atomics.types.address].
