Req; variables, pointers size

[amaye]

Hello,

I would like to know some variables size for two mcus. I guess that it is tied to the architecture so it be different from pic16 to pic 18.

Could someone give :

For a PIC16F876A
------------------------
char *Var = ???
char Var = ???
short Var = ???
int Var = ???
long Var = ???

For a PIC18F6720
------------------------
char *Var = ???
char Var = ???
short Var = ???
int Var = ???
long Var = ???

I want these infos cause I have some weird compiler errors that doesn't allow me to do some stuff as ( on a pic16f876a ) :
char *Var = 0x100
the error telling me 0x110 isnt between [0..255].
This is kinda confusing, I cannot believe a pointer on a byte could be only 0 to 255, haha...
Mebbie it may be related to the #locate which is associated with

Thank you very much

Warm regards

For a PIC16F876A
------------------------
char *Var = 8 bits, but it can be 16 bits if you add: #use device *=16
char Var = unsigned 8 bits
short Var = 1 bit
int Var = unsigned 8 bits
long Var = unsigned 16 bits

Ok, this new directive is working properly as expected

Thank you
