Huh? Can you elaborate?

When you have a builtin taking a size in bytes then a byte is 8 bits,
not BITS_PER_UNIT bits.

That makes no sense to me. I think the definition of a byte depends on the machine (hence the term "octet" was coined to be unambiguous). Also, such a definition would seem to imply that machines with 10-bit bytes cannot implement memcpy or memcmp.

Joseph, can you clarify the standard's meaning here?
