6.7.2 Type specifiers

Each list of type specifiers shall be one of the following sets (delimited by commas, when there is
more than one set on a line); the type specifiers may occur in any order, possibly
intermixed with the other declaration specifiers.

Notice that bit about "in any order". So long long int is the
same as long int long .

And why is not long int, then long?

What about

int int int m;

And any kind of nonsense you can think about?

long signed long int,
signed long int long,
signed long signed long,
signed int long signed long int
long int long int
long int int long

ad nauseum?

I just use the last one parsed.
