The AMPC (Axiomatic Multi-Platform C) compiler/IDE tries to follow the ANSI C (1989) standard as closely as possible, but it is yet to be fully compliant. Although it is not pure ANSI C (1989), it supports a very large subset of the standard. The JVM architecture has no built-in addressable memory architecture, hence, we resort to using one large array of int as a substitute for addressable memory. We minimize referencing the large array of int when referencing local variables by means of a register allocation technique based on the priority based graph coloring algorithm, utilizing JVM's local variables as "registers". This results in faster executables somewhat.
Each address location of the monolithic memory architecture takes up 32-bit space. So, the memory space is 4-bytes-addessable (word-addressable) and not byte-addressable. Consequently, all scalar data types are 4 bytes long and they are int, char, float, and double.
