FYI: The JNI specification guarantees that jbyte is an 8-bit signed value.
Hmmm... Thinking about all this mess of "non-specified" C byte length...
Can JNI actually be implemented on a 16-bit per byte system? Anybody has a reasonable answer?
To consider:
5.2.4.2.1 Sizes of integer types <limits.h> [#1] The values given below shall be replaced by constant
expressions suitable for use in #if preprocessing
directives...
...
-- number of bits for smallest object that is not a bit-
field (byte)
CHAR_BIT 8
...So, what how would one define "jbyte" on a platform where CHAR_BIT is defined as 16? JNI depends on having such a type.
