- Reading K&R2, section 2.2 Data Types and Sizes, for a '64 bit' CPU I
- would expect the
- following sizes :-
-
- char 8 bits
- short 32 bits
- int 64 bits
- long 128 bits
-
- For me, the key phrase is given in the short table of sizes :-
-
- int an integer, typically reflecting the natural size of integers on the
- host machine
-
-
- Time to duck for cover?

- By me, for me.
