google gave me this: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/variables/ Also, if you need certain sizes of integers, I'd recommend looking into stdint.h (or cstdint in the new standard).

I believe keywords like __int8 and __int16 are Borland C++ extensions, and I'd like to know what equivalents I can use in GCC. Where can I find a list of all the basic, built-in types for C++?
