Your question has an assumption contrary to fact. You can specify the
size of an integer in PL.I, but you don't have to.
But I'd like to know how, in C, I can specify the size of an integer
in bits, so that I get the proper allocation when I am on a 12-bit, an
18-bit, a 24-bit, a 30-bit, a 36-bit, a 48-bit, a 60-bit or a 64-bit
machine.
No, #define doesn't answer the question.
