Indeed, I got the impression that it would be 1bit wide, however how can you know this without looking into the gcc code? I searched the documentation in the implementation dependent details and searched the documentation for a function that would give me the number of bits of a type, but couldn't find anything. Any tips on this? Thanks, -- Paulo Jorge Matos - pocmatos at gmail.com http://www.pmatos.net
