True, but the pain of the PDP-11-to-VAX migration, when `int' changed
from 16 bits to 32, seems to have convinced the standards
organisations that they don't want to change the sizes of any integral
types. The proposed sizes for 64-bit implementations (in `LLP64')
are: 32 bits for int and long, 64 for long long and pointers. And
ANSI & POSIX will continue to paper over size differences with *_t
types.
I'd prefer 64-bit longs and no long longs (or 128-bit long longs), but
that seems unlikely given the vast existing corpus of code written
without much attention to types.
