Subject: newbie question about integers size/portabilty.
Date: Tue, 28 Dec 2004 10:29:16 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041228122916.GA7137@ic.unicamp.br> (raw)


Hi all,
	(about this question is about C programming, i think the
	"assemblers-guys" are most likely to answers quickly than not so
	advanced c programmers.... :)
	in the c style guide:
	http://www.psgd.org/paul/docs/cstyle/cstyle16.htm
	we can found a table (shown bellow) for integer data sizes. 
	there we can se that some architecture have more than one possible 
	value for the same size, depending on -- i guess -- the compiler.
	Does anyone know where i can get a accurate table for gcc compiler?

	
	Can those values change from a processor in the x86 to another with
	fixed-size word (e.g. 486 -> 586)? (The document provides a "safe
	minimal size" table, but note, as i am mixing several integer types
	to pass to a hardware data structure, this is not enough, i need
	exact values). 
	
TIA, Riba.
