I do this, just to maintain total clarity, -maybe it will suite your
tastes to?

typedef unsigned char UBYTE;	// 8
typedef unsigned short UWORD;	// 16
typedef unsigned long UDWORD;	// 32

typedef signed char SBYTE;	// 8
typedef signed short SWORD;	// 16
typedef sighed long SDWORD;	// 32

Put this in a header file and have it as your first include.  This
also means you could just change the header file if you
ported the code to another architecture...

Also, I have a preference for making my assembler routines
external because I think it makes reading the C code
clearer  and the assembler code simpler  -just my opinion
