Tbh I am finding it a bit hard to think of a use of integers that either isn't a length or a mathematical operation, so I gotta say it does narrow things down.

- chuckadams 9mo agoBit fields? (Assuming one's not using a struct)
- donkeybeer 9mo agoGood point. Yes if we need more than 8 flags we might need to consider one of the fixed length types.
- direwolf20 9mo agoWhy 8? Some computers have smaller types. C has smaller types, as bitfields, but they're second–class. Why not just always specify the bits you need? If you think 16 is probably enough and don't want to calculate, then specify 16.
