Yeah it fully depends on the model that Apple goes forward with (will
"int" stay 32b or become 64b)... for an idea (of most) of the variants
that exist grok the following website.

In general in most 64b systems int has stayed at 32b while long and
pointer become 64b (I personally hope for LP64).
Using the correct types, ones that are more specific in their sizing
can help buffer folks from issues like the above.
