If you need a guaranteed 32 bits in an integral type in C,
use (long int) a.k.a. (long), NOT (int).  If you need more than
32 bits then you can't portably directly use any C integral
type (although you can accomplish this in other ways).

Anyone who uses (int) and needs more than 16 bits is making a
mistake.
