is the int size determined by the CPU or the compiler itself?
 
The CPU has a natural size for a 'word', which is usually the same size as the registers.

The compiler writer usually chooses this size to represent an int.

The ANSI-C standard states that an int should have a minimum range of -32768 to 32767.
