Two messages I posted two weeks ago suddenly appeared again... I
think our poor USENET is getting a bit (pardon the word) screwed.
What better to do at 2:00 a.m. then comment on 16/32 bit ints again.
Say, you know it is very easy for us to include a check for this
problem. If you have a program which MUST be compiled with 32-bit
ints, you can put a one-line'r test'n fail (run-time) for 16-bit
ints. That way, nobody will 'accidently' compile your source w/
the wrong option.
if (!(int)(0xFFFF+1)) { puts("FAIL!");exit(9999);}
