C is shit

Why have short and int if by the standard they end up being the same size number of bits.


Is the following correct:

char        => 8 bits
short       => 16 bits
int         => 16 bits
long        => 32 bits
long long   => 64 bits

float       => 32 bits
double      => 64 bits
long double => 128 bits

whats the point of short?

Stop being dependent on the compiler and define your own "exact width" types.
It should be more than couple of lines to write and couple of lines to change for porting
