"In the past, there were no machines with 64-bit address spaces; now
there are several.  As Robert is well aware, several vendors of 64-bit
machines have sought to establish a common set of rules about how the C
integral types should correspond to 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit
integers on 64-bit machines.
"

Sought and failed so far? no?
or has there been progress here that I did not hear about. Last I heard
no one could agree.
