The DSP chips I am familiar with use either 8 bit, 16 bit or 32 bit 
char's (though some have had other sizes internally, such as accumulator 
registers that are 40 or 48 bits).  Such devices are easy to find on the 
websites of TI, Analog Devices, Freescale/NXP, etc.

I know of a few DSP's with 24-bit "char" (which is still a multiple of 
8, even if not a power of 2), but these are rare now.  And such devices 
were often programmed in assembly rather than C.

But I have not heard of any DSPs that have between 10 and 14 bit chars. 
  Can you name some, or give some links?  There are certainly plenty of 
CPU and DSP cores around that I have not heard of - but I think I have 
at least some familiarity with most of the microcontroller cores that 
are easily available to "normal" customers.  I know there are many that 
are not available outside a limited customer base - some of the big car 
and electronics companies make there own cores that are not used 
elsewhere, for example.  But I would like to hear specific names, links, 
references, or technical details of at least a few of such devices - the 
ones that you say make up roughly 90% of the market.

Note that to be applicable here, they must be programmed in C - but I am 
still interested if they are programmed in assembly or other languages.

I have not heard of such a trend.  I have not followed the car industry 
closely enough to know that there is no such trend, but I am sceptical. 
  Certainly I know that major Western manufacturers of auto parts (such 
as Freescale/NXP, Infineon, TI) have a steady supply of new high-end 
processors and microcontrollers for the auto industry, using mainly PPC 
and ARM cores.  There is no visible signs of that changing - but I am 
aware that there is typically about a 2 year span between folks such as 
Ford or General Motors getting new chips and them being available for 
general industry.  And I can't answer at all for the far eastern auto 
electronics suppliers.

By "pre-generated", I mean supplied by the manufacturer or its close 
partners, rather than written by the systems designer.  Someone making 
an audio device might, for example, use a DSP for handling the audio 
decoding for a range of formats, encryptions, etc., and for digital 
audio effects, along with a "normal" microcontroller for the user 
interface, the networking, and so on.  They get the DSP code directly 
from the DSP manufacturer or its close partners - thus avoiding dealing 
with difficult specialist programming, patent and licensing 
complications, etc.  But they program the microcontroller themselves.

Again, I would like to see information about concrete examples.

No one is claiming that people use 8-bit devices for audio processing 
(at least, not in modern systems).  But devices with CHAR_BIT == 8 are 
often used, such as ARM cores.  And when DSPs are used, which is common 
for audio processing, the popular ones I know have CHAR_BIT that is a 
multiple of 8 - mostly 16 or 32, but also some 24 bit.

What we want to know are examples of this other 90% you claim have 
CHAR_BIT that is not a multiple of 8.

No one - not even a company making millions of units - is going to think 
it is worth the cost in making all their audio codec software in-house 
from scratch.  There are far too few people in the world who understand 
the stuff well enough to write such code, and writing it simply takes 
too long - no one can afford the time-to-market costs.

Again, examples please - with information about the cores in question.

You see, the reality of embedded systems, especially high quantity 
systems, is that it is all about costs.  This includes manufacturing 
costs, development costs, licensing costs, and time costs.  Having 
CHAR_BIT == 8 (or at least, a multiple of 8) typically makes development 
costs and - in particular - development time, noticeably lower than 
having a "weird" architecture with an odd size of byte.  Most licensable 
cores, hardware, and software is also heavily biased towards such sizes 
- so having a 10-bit or 14-bit char means you can't make your SoC from 
plug-and-play parts, and you can't use off-the-shelf software and tools.

So the /only/ reason for using something other than CHAR_BIT == 8 would 
be manufacturing costs.  There was a time when a chip designer could 
save a good deal of silicon (leading also to lower power and higher 
clock speeds) by having 24 bits rather than 32 bits in the ALU, and in 
particular in the multiplier circuits.  So for high-end audio, making 
your DSP's use 24 bits rather than 16-bits (slower) or 32-bits (more 
expensive) made sense.  With more modern designs and manufacturing 
processes, that difference is negligible in most cases.

There simply is no reason to make a device with CHAR_BIT != 8 in the 
vast majority of use-cases.

There will always be some specialised niche uses, of course - but as 
specialised niche uses, they are not particularly common.

You haven't /proven/ anything - repeating a claim is not proof.  Give me 
links, references, examples, names - give me something /concrete/ to 
suggest that 90% of the devices we see around us have CHAR_BIT that is 
not a multiple of 8 (or that disobey some other rule of Supercat's 
"commonplace C").
