PDP-10 byte size is not fixed. Bytes can be 0 to 36 bits wide. (Sure, 0 is not very useful; still legal.)
I don't think there is a C++ compiler for the PDP-10. One of the C compiler does have a 36-bit char type.
Do you have any links/info on how that 0-bit byte worked? It sounds like just the right thing for a Friday afternoon read ;D
