Re: [rtl] "Longer" Thread Periods

   WHere did you get this from?  ;-)

   char = 8bits = 1byte
   short = 16bits = 2bytes
   int = 32bits = 4bytes
   long = 32bits = 4bytes
   long long = 64bits = 8bytes


   If you don't trust me, run this:


int main(void)  {
 
  printf ("Size: %d\n", sizeof(char));
  printf ("Size: %d\n", sizeof(short));
  printf ("Size: %d\n", sizeof(int));
  printf ("Size: %d\n", sizeof(long));
  printf ("Size: %d\n", sizeof(long long)); }                                   


Size: 1
Size: 2
Size: 4
Size: 4
Size: 8
