The signed and unsigned keywords work the same way as long, e.g., `unsigned` alone is equivalent to `unsigned int`.

  Yah but you can't have "unsigned unsigned". You can and do have "long long", or possibly a "long long long" in addition to the saner "long int".

    >Yah but you can't have "unsigned unsigned". Seems like a good thing to be honest.
    • elcritch 4y ago
      Lets not give the C committee ideas ;) But actually I'd suggest the opposite of disallowing "long long" and making it like signed/unsiged as purely a modifier.

        What would you use for your 64-bit integer type, then?
        • masklinn 4y ago
          int64_t Long long is not even a 64 bit integer type, it’s a int_least64_t. Could be 128 or 256 bits for all you know.

            Yeah, it's just the next type in the ladder. But you still need one to map to int_whatever_t.
