Problem is simple—there are still systems out there like that, and people are still buying them and writing C code for them. They're just in the embedded space, where day-to-day programmers don't encounter them.

It would be possible to do a quick-and-dirty work with preprocessor definitions. The real thing is when you want to write "fixed-C" with a legacy compiler: you realize than it does so much things without telling you, you would need a really accurate warning system in order to catch all those things. I was told gcc can report all integer promotions, true?
