If you make assumptions about the hardware your program is running on
you're out of scope of C language.

Either you realy _know_ what your hardware _and_ your compiler do in the
current and will do in all future versions, or you better rely only on
the C language standard.

It is your choice. I prefere almost always the latter, except I have to
wirte platform-dependend code/optimizations etc.
