From 925733a913ff7087e56f6ffebd2998f683212e78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rical Jasan Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2017 05:04:48 -0700 Subject: manual: Rewrite the section on widths of integer types. The manual contradicted itself by saying the number of bits in an integer type needed to be computed, and then listing a number of macros that later standards provided for exactly that. The entire section has been reworked to provide those macros first, while preserving the documentation of CHAR_BIT and the associated examples within that context. * manual/lang.texi (Computing the Width of an Integer Data Type): Rename section to "Width of an Integer Type". Remove inaccurate statement regarding lack of C language facilities for determining width of integer types, and reorder content to improve flow and context of discussion. --- ChangeLog | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'ChangeLog') diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 421e82a..9e7dd95 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,5 +1,14 @@ 2017-08-10 Rical Jasan + * manual/lang.texi + (Computing the Width of an Integer Data Type): Rename section to + "Width of an Integer Type".
