Not sure about 64-bit `int`, but it is 16-bit on some 16-bit micros, such as the AVR line (used by the original Arduino).


Ti dsps have 48bits for long.


Yep. DSPs always have weird architectures, but in most cases, one isn't compiling the same code for multiple DSP architectures. As an example, the C2000 line has a 16-bit `char`; There is no support for "bytes".


yeah i had 48 bit pointers on one asic. upper 16 bits selected memory partition/region
