oid size on 64 bit machine

Do I get more oids on a 64 bit machine? That is, is it also an unsigned
four-byte integer on a 64 bit machine?

Until later, Geoffrey

No.


Nor will OIDs ever be 64 bit, I'd hazard to guess.

In any case using OIDs in applications is a bad idea -- you probably
should not be using them at all, let alone using more than 2^32 of them.

I am confussed on what the heck is going on ?! I have an HTML INPUT File Box on an Email Piece of an application.

How is a character stored in a word aligned machine? Assuming on 64bit machine, 1 byte is reserved for a char, is it the case that only 1 byte is used to store the character and the rest 7 bytes are wasted, or my assumption is wrong? If my assumption is right, what are the performance issues in retrieving value of a character variable over other data types like integer, double or float.

Hi All, Is that true that size of a byte not necessarily 8-bit? What the std. says? If that true, then what will the size of an int, i mean what sizeof(int) should return? On my machine sizeof(char) == sizeof(int). TMS320C5402 DSP (with 16-bit word size). both returns one. So, it holds true.

Hi, It is said that the size of short,int,long,float and double depends on the machine whereas the size of char is 1-byte. Now, what do they mean by the size depends on the machine? I mean if i have a 32-bit machine, then what will be the size of int? Thanks.

On some of the compilers integer size is 2 and on some other it is 4 bytes. My doubt is who decides the size of the integer? is it plainly the compiler? Does OS or Processor also has any control in deciding the size of such data types?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
