Actually, I
AGREE with those size recommendations.
I LIKE having 8 bit chars, 16 bit ints, 32 bit longs;
but there are some bizarre vintage implementations out there,
and on the old stuff, you can not count on a specific size.
But only because the hardware you're used to using
C on suits these sizes.
You're absolutely right.
I like those sizes, because they're a good fit with my hardware.
