I am now not sure because I don't have a 64-bit machine.
It is easy to check if one has a 64-bit machine. I'm curious to know.
Actually, just checking one 64 bit machine would not be enough.
If you stick to Linux and gcc then you get fairly consistent results
but C is bigger than gcc (only slightly).
I take your point.
I am just surprised because many books in C programming teaches by starting
with int sizes. And the ones I've seen and C programming classes I sat
says 16-bit
Machine = int 2; 32-bit Machine=int 4; and 64-bit Machine=int 8.
Sigh !!!!
