For a PDP-8, CHAR_BIT would be 12, int could have 24 bits, and long could have 36 or 48, whatever is most convenient/efficient/desired. For a PDP-15, char and int could be the same 18-bit type, and long could be 36 bits. On further reflection, you might be able to replace the standard 16

Hi everyone, I was just wondering whether it's theoretically possible to use a 24bit Integer, and whether there is certain reason why 24bit aren't supported. Cheers Morty ___ AVR-GCC-list mailing list AVR-GCC-list@nongnu.org
