Thread: Converting Integers to Binary

>I was just wondering if you've seen examples where a CHAR_BIT wasn't 8.
Analog SHARC - CHAR_BIT == 32
DSP 56156 Motorola - CHAR_BIT = 32
DSP Texas - CHAR_BIT = 16

Just a few.

-Prelude

Cool. I'll keep that in mind.

So Dave and Prelude,
Are you saying that on a machine where CHAR_BIT is 16:

If an int is 16 bits, sizeof(int) returns 1?
If an int is 32 bits, sizeof(int) returns 2?

yes. sizeof() returns size in chars, however big a char may be.

And what you wanna bet each memory location on such a machine is also 16 bits wide.
