SICKENING, SIRS, SICKENING
AN INT TAKES THE SAME AMOUNT OF MEMORY AS A LONG!!

YOU CAN TEST IT YOURSELF !!

Your point being what? CHAR_BIT only says how many bits are in a char. It's still one byte.

Or to put it differently, since perhaps if I use some BBCode it'll sink in:

The number of ^bits in a _byte (#define CHAR_BIT) is entirely independent of the number of ^bytes in a _{char (which is ALWAYS one)}.
