Are you sure?

My copy of famous C book by B. W. Kernighan and D. Ritchie says that

sizeof(short) <= sizeof(int) <= sizeof(long)

and

sizeof(short) >= 16,
sizeof(int) >= 16,
sizeof(long) >= 32.

The book is about ANSI C not C99 but I think this is still valid.

Am I wrong?


No, I just looked it up (section 2.2), and you're right.
