I suppose: 8 char 16 short 32 int 64 long ? ...I thought "int" was supposed to be the single-cycle-fetch type... so isn't int 64 like long? If so, how do I get an int32_t? Anyway, damn ANSI for not implementing sized types... or adopting "quad" and loosening the restriction on sizeof(long)>=sizeof(int). 8-(.
