Don't make me tap the sign: the majority of processors running C are weird little dirtbag chips of 16 bits or less sprinkled by the dozen.

Don't make me tap the sign: the majority of processors running C are weird little dirtbag chips of 16 bits or less sprinkled by the dozen.
but the C for them is its own little world playing by its own rules, separate from C used everywhere else.
And I bet that when you have only 16 bits of address space, you care how many bits every integer has.
