Here's some of my reasoning from sdcc-devel: short has at least 16 bits according to the 1989 ANSI and all subsequent C standards. short was not available in 1969 K&R C, but was available in some pre-ANSI compilers later. It is likely that there was a transition period in the late 1970s and early 1980s when short was allowed to have 8 bits, but I'm not sure. However code written during that time won't compile with sdcc anyway, since we require ANSI C function prototypes and definitions and do not support the K&R style. And since K&R C does not allow short as function parameter, such old code is not likely to contain many shorts.
