Thus, instead of declaring a variable to be 'int' and hoping that it is exactly 32 bits, one could declare a variable of type 'int32_t'.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I suggest this because you could then remove the architecture command-line argument from the makefile.  The library could then be compiled on architectures other than Intel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Robert W.
