C is one of my favorite programming languages (for speed) but its types 
are horrible. I prefer explicit names like uint8, int8 etc, particularly 
for low level operations like bit shifts or holding persistent data. E.g.,

#if sizeof(int) == 32
typedef int int32;
#endif
#if sizeof(long) == 32
typedef long int32;
#endif

Also something like:

#define _nullp		((char *)0)
#define s2p(aSize)	((void *)(_nullp + (int)aSize))
#define p2s(aPointer)	((char *)(aPointer) - _nullp)

takes care of the integer/pointer mix up warnings.
