byte、half-word、word的区别

向ARM看齐了，理解一下32位ARM和8/16位MCU 对于byte、half-word、word的区别

/*****************************************************
对字（Word）、半字（Half-Word）、字节（Byte）的概念说明如下：

字（Word）：在ARM体系结构中，字的长度为32位，而在8位/16位处理器体系结构中，字的长度一般为16位。
半字（Half-Word）：在ARM体系结构中，半字的长度为16位，与8位/16位处理器体系结构中字的长度一致。
字节（Byte）：在ARM体系结构和8位/16位处理器体系结构中，字节的长度均为8位。

关于如何把这三个概念和code联系起来理解，我列举了两个操作系统的code，其中linux显然就是ARM体系结构的代表，而UC/OS-II则是8位/16位的代表。
第一个操作系统：linux-2.6.16
