And the wonderful hassle of standards continues http://xkcd.com/927/, recall that K&R which was I believe first and for a long time the definitive book stated that pointers could always fit in a "int", it seemed to take forever to get stdint.h where you could get a int8_t without your own header... of course that is only needed for files or protocols shared with other computers ;) I am feeling old, I remember the joy of upgrading to ANSI C (C89) ~27 years ago What will be next... long long being int128_t?
