Afaik most is in the docs, but some short pointers:
32 64
unsigned 16 bits WORD? WORD?
signed 16 bits see table docs (smallint/shortint)
unsigned 32 bits DWORD? DWORD?
signed 32 bits compiler mode dependant 16/32
unsigned 64 bits QWORD? QWORD?
signed 64 bits Int64? Int64?
Native "integer" "native" is ambiguous.
Signed integer as big
as pointer PtrInt Ptrint
Unsigned integer as big
as pointer PtruInt Ptruint
"native" is confusing since it can taken in many ways. Native as in most
performance? Register size? Addressing size? Addressing size + segment ?
(size_t, ssize_t).

always 32-bit signed.

The docs are the primary source, the language ref should have a table
somewhere near the start. I sometimes use it, because I always forget which
is 8-bit signed and which is 16-bit signed. (which is why I never use them
and always use ctypes)
