don't worry about 2byte int, that does not work on linux
(and posix platforms in general)
bit shift does not do arithmetic conversion:
the signedness of the right operand does not matter,
integer promotion is applied independently to the two
sides
the usual way to do the char shift is
(uint32_t)c<<24
or
uint32_t w = c;
w << 24
