Re: How to write (mostly) "architecture independent" (32/64 bits) code?

[Arrrrrrrrr]

You have to define an interface between client and server anyway, that's the 
only place you should care. Regardless on whether your client/server is 32/64, 
i'm sure you are not going to use every bit of an int. Say, you want to 
transmit some ID field. Are you expecting to have more than a million IDs? If 
not, you'd simply define your ID message as an int32 and then convert with 
server.id = int(msg.id)/client.id = int(msg.id).
