Hi everyone.
As far as I have understood, the following configurations are the most
common "C" implementations for word length:
(16 bit architecture)
char = 8 bits
short = 16 bits
int = 16 bits
long = 32 bits
(32 bit architecture)
char = 8 bits
short = 16 bits
int = 32 bits
long = 32 bits
Does anyone know if this configuration is supported (presumably on 32-bit
machines):
char = 8 bits
short = 16 bits
int = 32 bits
long = 64 bits
All machines I have tried C on have conformed to one of the former
configurations, none to the latter.
