Yes, but it's not a question of whether the type jbyte is the same size as a character type, but whether it is treated in the same way as a character by the compiler.
Hi Andrew. Please look carefully at my proposal (sent minutes ago), and tell me if it still contains non-portable bits. I provide in it a piece of C code that will generate warnings if jbyte is not treated as signed char by the compiler, if I am right. [Look at the test() function].
