@jhwgh1968 my guess is that the 3 groups that would care are legacy codebase maintainers running some ancient vendor c from 20-30 years ago, c standards authors trying to support, who exactly?, and the designer of the deathstation 9k

@jhwgh1968 yeah POSIX requires CHAR_BIT=8 and so is every non-posix programming environment you’d write code for nowadays

@jhwgh1968 standard C was designed with CHAR_BIT ≥ 8 in mind. if a well formed program doesn’t work on CHAR_BIT 9 or, indeed, CHAR_BIT 64 that would be a spec bug
the size argument to malloc (same with any other size argument) is in multiples of char size. so it would allocate 80 octets of memory as expected

@jhwgh1968 the definition exists since c89, the first version of C standard

@jhwgh1968 then then it’s not a standard c compiler and i doubt media en/decoding runs particularly well on it either

@jhwgh1968 reading the source code of meson, it generates a test program that is basically just printf("%d", sizeof(char)); which is by definition 1

@jhwgh1968 no i do. why does gst-plugins-bad check for if char is 1 byte wide

@ellenor2000 also i don’t think that a linux-aligned build system that is about 10 years old and is written in python would support bespoke 60s minicomputers

@ellenor2000 yes but its size would still be one (byte). just not 8 bits

i love how even when moving past autofools we are still doing superfluous checks
Checking for size of "char" : 1

Dio9sys@haunted.computerCursed idea:
Bethesda never releases Elder Scrolls 6. Instead, they release the art assets and story boards along with an updated mod creation toolkit, because they know that modders will just remake the ground up for them like they always do.

More foxes for friends, this time I decided to step away from the original general style established by another designer, because I felt like it constrained me a bit. Done in Affinity Designer.

if the gecos real name field was introduced to linux today lunduke would fearmonger about how this is literally identity verification and multiple people here would be all too happy sharing full name, photo, and employment history of the people involved
