In the early
days of the Mac, I played briefly (long enough to walk
away from) a compiler that had 16 bits as sizeof(char)
MPW still hosts a 68K
compiler with that property; at least until
PowerPC it was a common runtime model. It's not really a big deal to
write C code such that this would not be a problem, and certainly no
trickier than being 32/64 portable.
