Most CPUs are 8-bit with 32-bit beginning to take over. They usually don't have more than 256K.

Most CPUs aren't in self-hosting systems.

[kevin_thibedeau]

Yes they are. Embedded applications outnumber top end computers by an order of magnitude.

Perhaps he means that they are not generally self-hosted, in that we generally tend to cross-compile for the embedded hardware, rather than compiling on the embedded hardware.

That's precisely what I meant, and I don't understand how it could be misunderstood if you know what "self-hosting" means in this context.

[msla]

I think you just agreed with me.
