> The current draft of the standard does not require that the sizeof short is > less than or equal to the sizeof int; nor that sizeof int is less than or > equal to sizeof long. This is one of those "by a careful reading of the draft" type questions. Page 23 lines 36-43 states that "... the range of values of each type [signed char, short, int, long] is a subrange of the values of the next type in the list." Page 24 line 2 requires unsigned versions to have the same size as signed counterparts. Certainly, the situation with the fp types is far more obvious in lines 10-11.
