Come on Roger. You know that the types for integers in C are char, short, long, and long long. int corresponds to whatever type happens to be the native alignment boundary (and ALU register size) for the machine hardware in question. On 8-bit (4-bit and bitslice) Intel bitty-boxes int equals char. On 16-bit Intel bitty-boxes int equals short. On 32-bit Intel bitty-boxes, int equals long. On 64-bit Intel bitty-boxes int should equal long long. On 128-bit processors int equals _int128 But of course the compiler writers and OS vendors screw with and redefine the standard to their convenience, and then deny that it ever changed (especially easy in this day and age).
