Comment by CPlus on Why short and long and double and similar instead of unambigous width types such as int16 or int64 or float64?

@NateEldredge In hindsight in those cases, I find what C99 did to be the most logical, having the ambiguous, but required intlong etc., but also offering the unambiguous int32_tint64_t but only required on systems that systems that natively support them, if I correct understand the Standard.
