The standard says you should provide types that are the fastest on the
platform (the definition of fastest is up to the platform) for integer
types that are at least 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits. I know that ints (32
bits) are faster than shorts (16 bits) in DJGPP, right?

Are ints (32 bits) faster than chars (8 bits)?


Right,
