      From: muta...@gmail.com              I vaguely recall someone saying that       old thinking, from 70s or 60s I think,       was that data registers and address       registers would all be the same size.              Or something like that.              With the exception of the circumstance       where segmentation is required, it's       true, isn't it? Everything is or can be       the same size, simplifying things.              The subc author said that subc is a sane       subset of c.              Maybe he is close to being right?              He only supports int and I defined short       and long to be int.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
