As Alexander says, *all* the sizes except those for bytes are 
platform-dependent:  there are platforms where sizeof(short) isn't 2, for 
example, or where sizeof(int) isn't 4.

It would be possible to add the 'standard' sizes to that table (i.e. the sizes 
that you get when using '<', '>', etc.);  would that be helpful?  If you're 
trying to write cross-platform code then you should probably be using standard 
size, alignment and byte order anyway.
