nope.. they are really that size...

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
	printf("int max: %d, uint max: %u, quad max: %qd, long max: %d\n",
	    INT_MAX, UINT_MAX, QUAD_MAX, LONG_MAX);
}

int max: 2147483647, uint max: 4294967295, quad max: 9223372036854775807, long max: 2147483647
