Likelihood That (CHAR_BIT == 8).

by Le Chaud Lapin <jaibuduvin@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 9, 2008 at 09:23 PM

Hi All,

I would like to know of existing systems where CHAR_BIT of <climits>
is not equal to 8. I am particular interested in prevalent systems.

Technically, my code is mostly ****table, but only within a particular
machine. Innter-machine interaction (serialization for example), there
will be problems for those machines where CHAR_BIT != 8.

Yes, yes, I know, it enough effort, I can rewrite my code to eliminate
any potential compatibilities even then, but still, it helps to
know. :)

TIA,

-Le Chaud Lapin-
