On: The Little C Function From Hell

[cperciva]

16-bit chars aren't allowed in modern versions of C -- CHAR_BIT is required to be 8.

[JoachimSchipper → cperciva]

Thanks for the update! (For the curious: C99 or POSIX both require CHAR_BIT == 8.)

C99 only requires CHAR_BIT to be at least 8 (5.2.4.2.1:1). POSIX requires it to be exactly 8.

[cperciva → pascal_cuoq]

Oops, quite right. I missed the "equal or greater in magnitude" line when I was reading that section.
