I am looking at WG14/N1124 Committee Draft -- May 6, 2005 ISO/IEC 9899:TC2

section 5.2.4.2 (Numerical limits) where the minimum and maximum sizes of
integral types is specified.  It actually says char < short <= int < long
< long long.  More precisely, 
the minimum number of bits for each type:

	char 	 8
	short	16
	int	16
	long	32
	llong	64

Is that what you were looking for?
