Honeywell H6000/L66/DSP8 (and several others) have 36 bit integers...
On every platform I work on, and indeed every
platform I've
*ever* worked on, unsigned short has been 16 bits, and unsigned int
has been 32.
I own one where int is 16 bits, have worked on a
compiler for
one where int is 24 bits, and have used one where short is 32
bits and int 64. There is reason for the Tenth Commandment.
