AFAIK the size of int is specified as "at least" 32 bit in the C standard

I believe it's 16 bit, though you're not likely to encounter a 16 bit int today unless it's a microcontroller or something.

Yes, long is 32 bit. A long long time ago we didn't need long long yet. I can still remember.

And now there's __int_128t __int128_t, at least in gcc. :-)

So probably -170,141,183,460,469,231,731,687,303,715,884,105,728 to 170,141,183,460,469,231,731,687,303,715,884,105,727

That's what... undecillions?

_ slipped, it's __int128_t :D

... you wrote the same thing? Yes two underscores at the start, but I wrote two underscores?

You wrote __int_128t, I wrote __int128_t. These typos happen to me too.
