Another issue not mentioned is cross-compiling.

If the result of my `sort ` function is dependent on `sizeof(void )` being 8, when I compile from my x86 hardware for a 32-bit only architecture, assumptions go awry.

Note that this isn't likely with something like sort, but definitely is* likely with precomputing values/structs etc.
