short int in C

[MasterGod]

Does normal int's size is the size of the computer's registers?
e.g, on a 512 bit system (in the future) an int would be 512 bit long and long maybe 1024 bit?

that's how it should be imho, always int equal to the registers size and long, double that size.

Here on Linux an int on amd64 is always 32bit long.
