            Bug ID: 17943
           Summary: int_fast8_t being 8 bit? Bug?
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.19
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

int_fastN_t types are defined as being "the fastest possible signed integer on
an architecture that is at least N bits long", so my question is: why is it 8
bit long on a 64 bit machine? Shouldn't it be 64 bit like int_fast16_t,
int_fast32_t and int_fast64_t (all 64 bit)?
