> I'm not certain, but is it possible it went smooth because everyone working in C/C++ started paying attention to their data sizes? We don't have to guess. A huge amount of the code that made this transition was strewn across the internet in CVS and SVN repos, and now in preserved git history. From compilers and libcs to kernels to linkers, loaders and interpreters. They make concessions where they had to (check out glibc), but stay with traditional K&R-style types when possible. The "i32 calculate_age()" thing is way newer than that. |
