At least for Unices and Windows a short int is always 2 bytes on both 32bit and 64bit machines. And is always aligned at a 2 byte boundary.
I think that the below table already circulated the list, but here it is again:
OS char short int long void*
Unix 32bit 1 byte 2 bytes 4 bytes 4 bytes 4 bytes
Windows 32bit 1 byte 2 bytes 4 bytes 4 bytes 4 bytes
Unix 64bit 1 byte 2 bytes 4 bytes 8 bytes 8 bytes
Windows 64bit 1 byte 2 bytes 4 bytes 4 bytes 8 bytes
