+ This file defines typedefs for 8, 16, and 32 bit integers. They are:
+ cit_int8_t default 8-bit int
+ cit_int16_t default 16-bit int
+ cit_int32_t default 32-bit int
+ cit_int64_t default 64-bit int (not implemented yet)
+ cit_sint8_t signed 8-bit int
+ cit_sint16_t signed 16-bit int
+ cit_sint32_t signed 32-bit int
+ cit_sint64_t signed 64-bit int (not implemented yet)
+ cit_uint8_t unsigned 8-bit int
+ cit_uint16_t unsigned 16-bit int
+ cit_uint32_t unsigned 32-bit int
+ cit_uint64_t unsigned 64-bit int (not implemented yet)
+
+ The sizes are determined during the configure process; see the
+ AC_CHECK_SIZEOF macros in configure.in. In no way do we assume that any
+ given datatype is any particular width, e.g. we don't assume short is two
+ bytes; we check for it specifically.
+
+ This might seem excessively paranoid, but I've seen some WEIRD systems
+ and some bizarre compilers (Domain/OS for instance) in my time.
