<Regenaxer> Tomorrow I will add 'W'-type (16 bit word) to pil21's native
<Regenaxer> 'W' seems natural to me for a signed 16 bit value, no?
<beneroth> Regenaxer, seems to be the Microsoft use of the term (one of the few places I ever meet that term).
<beneroth> else it seems to be the "natural" pointer/integer size according to cpu architecture.. so technically it probably should be 64 ;-)
<Regenaxer> yeah, since 8-bit times
<Regenaxer> right
<Regenaxer> I use "word" for the hardware width
<Regenaxer> (addresses and data normally)
<beneroth> yeah
<Regenaxer> But there is no term for 16 bits else
<beneroth> then use it. good enough
<Regenaxer> it says it is 2 bytes
<Regenaxer> The english WP does not say it this way
<Regenaxer> "entspricht in der Regel 16 Bit"
<Regenaxer> "Windows Data Types" :(((
<Regenaxer> Or, should we use 'D' (for "double-byte")?
<Regenaxer> we have 'B', 'C', 'D', 'N', 'P' ... then
<Regenaxer> 'W' feels somewhat better
<beneroth> oh I only read the english wikipedia
<beneroth> I only read english, except for explicitly german-region topics... german wikipedia is too full with power-hungry admins deleting everything
<Regenaxer> yes, but in this case the german one seems not a direct translation
<Regenaxer> Oh! I forgot! I just see that 'W' *is* already in pil21!!
<Regenaxer> All there, even in doc/diff
<beneroth> xD
<beneroth> that is the purpose of documentation :)
<Regenaxer> true
<Regenaxer> necessary with Alzheimer
<Regenaxer> I really completely forgot
<beneroth> well.. I document for myself so don't have to stress myself to remember details
<beneroth> good stress reduction
<Regenaxer> :)
<beneroth> I have approximate knowledge about approximate everything, but my memory for details is truly random memory
<beneroth> don't stress yourself, Regenaxer :)
<Regenaxer> Ah, no worries! No stress at all :)
<beneroth> good. just forget about it :P
<Regenaxer> sure, that in any case ;)
