I don't know any platform where unsigned is 16 bytes as of yet.

Don't tell me you're trying to compile VLC for a 16-bits platform. While
pedantically incorrect, the VLC code base, and much of contribs, generally
assumes that int and unsigned have 32-bits or more.

In principles, the correct type would be int_least32_t and uint_least32_t.
But that would be too verbose to the taste of normal developers.
