A 24-bit int is smaller than a HOST_WIDE_INT (right!), so the everything related to 24-bit constants is handled by existing CONST_INT code. Our patch doesn't change 24-bit constants. I've never seen a generic __int24, so I don't know what you mean, and I don't know what you mean by compatible. In the language standard, compatible is a very specific term, and it relates to the front-end code. I'm not altering or changing any front end semantics for any type, other than __int256, so the answer post my patch, is the same answer as previous to my patch. I hope that might answer your question, if not, expound on the question a little and I can try again.
