Do I have the guarantee that sizeof(type) == sizeof(unsigned type)?

The C++11 Standard says about integer types:

(§3.9.1/3) For each of the standard signed integer types, there exists a corresponding (but different) standard unsigned integer type: “unsigned char”, “unsigned short int”, “unsigned int”, “unsigned long int”, and “unsigned long long int”, each of which occupies the same amount of storage and has the same alignment requirements (3.11) as the corresponding signed integer type; that is, each signed integer type has the same object representation as its corresponding unsigned integer type. Likewise, for each of the extended signed integer types there exists a corresponding extended unsigned integer type with the same amount of storage and alignment requirements. [...]

So the answer is yes.

For C11, there is a corresponding statement here (this is from N1570):

(§6.2.5/6) For each of the signed integer types, there is a corresponding (but different) unsigned integer type (designated with the keyword unsigned) that uses the same amount of storage (including sign information) and has the same alignment requirements [...]

Yes, there is a full guarantee that sizeof(signed type) is equal to sizeof(unsigned type) since unsigned is only taking the space of negative numbers of signed type to increase its range.
