RE: [GD-General] meaning of sizeof(int) on all plateform

That's eminently sensible.

I seem to remember reading in an issue of the C/C++ Journal that there were
new bit-specific type identifiers in one of the upcoming draft standards
(possibly the C one) that looked disturbingly like templates.

Something like int<64> although probably much more wordy, and introducing a
whole new set of very long reserved words.

Still, at least it's one of those problems that only rears it's head when
you assimilate a new platform,

Cheers,
