/* Basic assumptions: 1) "char" is 8-bit; 2) there is a 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit
 * and 64-bit integer type, respectively; 3) "short" is no less than "char",
 * "int" is no less than "short", "long" is no less than "int" and "long long"
 * is no less than "long"; 4) "int" is at least 16-bit, "long" at least 32-bit
 * and "long long" at least 64-bit. The last two assumptions are enforced by
 * the C99 spec.
 *
 * Following assumptions 1) and 2), we know that "signed char"=="int8_t" and
 * "short"=="int16_t" for sure. Further from the assumptions, a 32-bit integer
 * type must be either "int" or "long". We can test (UINT16_MAX==UINT_MAX) to
 * see which is the case. Similarly, a 64-bit integer must be either "long" or
 * "long long". We can test (UINT16_MAX==UINT_MAX) to get the definite answer.
