Suppose one fine day (in year 1990, for example) the C++ Standard defines native binary data representations. Do you want 16-bit int now? How many long long longs are you ready to add in the future?

An experienced and far-sighted software architect never relies on external data binary interfaces. There are lots of methods to cope with binary data incompatibilities.

If you want fixed and standardized data types representations, switch to Java. Then try to implement useful soft for PIC or TI microcontrollers in Java ...
