[Linux-ia64] RPC on IA64

[qiuhb]

Hi.

Now I am porting some application from IA32 to IA64 and using RPC.
Would you tell me whether support scalable data types as like intptr_t.
The long type is 32-bit on IA32 and it is 64-bit on IA64,yes or no?

Thanks.

Yes.  Nowadays, long is the only standard C type whose size is likely
to vary between platforms.  int is 32-bit practically everywhere and
long long is 64-bit everywhere.  Note that the current situation *may*
change in the future, so it's better to avoid relying on these sizes,
if possible.
