Well I was using type and subtype in the Ada sense, which
I agree is a bit confusing, since the notion of type in
C subsumes both ideas. But the critical point of the
meaning of type in Ada is that different types are
not assignment compatible, so in Ada terms, int and char
cannot be considered different types.
The promotion you talk of in C, corresponds to the
conversion of subtypes to the base type in Ada or some
such. It is always difficult to compare languages at
this level of terminology when the terminologies differ.
