  : i'm just wondering if anyone knows of any platform existant today in which !(sizeof(size_t)>1). Any platform means any.

  I can't imagine such a platform exists. size_t is (at least) an integer, thus 2 bytes on 16-bits platforms.

  In 8-bit proccessors an integer should be 1 byte, and therefor size_t should be the same.

  I was thinking of that. I'm just trying to make portable code, but porting to such a platform (a microcontroller) doesn't seem neccessary, I doubt a such a thing would need a bignum lib (it doesn't deserve such a classification, midnum sounds better ;-) )
