Size in bytes
References to the size of an object in other parts of the standard specify that size is measured in bytes. The following lines do not follow this convention: subclause 7.10.3.1 on page 154, lines 26-27 and subclause 7.10.3.3 on page 155, line 8.
Comment from WG14 on 1997-09-23:
There are numerous places in the standard where “size in bytes” is used, and
numerous places where “size” alone is used. The Committee does not feel that any
of these places need fixing - the meaning is everywhere clear, especially since
for sizeof in subclause 6.3.3.4 size is specifically mentioned in terms of
bytes.
