I didn't doubt that what you do works, but even "unsigned char" isn't the same as a unsigned 8-bit integer on every platform. Plus whoever will contribute in the future is bound to trip over the same issue again, omitting "unsigned" because its not necessary on i386. While "unsigned char" is clearly better than just "char", both obscure the issue that you actually want an integer with a small range. int8_t is both shorter and more expressive.
