There's a key difference there. The implementation you describe could be fully conforming. The one he described could not; you can't meet the standard's precision and range requirements for double with a 32-bit data type. > ... Trying to impliment > any sort of communications protocol with that was fun. Thanks for that information. Claims have frequently been made on comp.lang.c that, while the C standard allows CHAR_BIT != 8, the existence of such implementations is a myth. I'm glad to have a specific counter example to cite. There's something I've wondered about such machines: when data from other machines containing data types smaller than 32 bits (for instance, ASCII text files) is transferred to the TMS320C40, how is this usually handled? I could imagine three main possibilities: a) Four 8-bit bytes of data are packed into each 32-bit byte b) Each field value stored in a data type smaller than 32 bits is converted to a 32-bit type, and stored as such. For instance, a file containing 45,678 8-bit bytes of text gets converted into a file containing 45,678 32-bit bytes of text. c) Different methods are used in different contexts, leading to constant headaches. This strikes me as the most likely possibility. -- James Kuyper
