Github user jeremy-w commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/442#issuecomment-94577409 Where possible without changing the protocol bits that are pinned by codegen, it would be good to address integer width/signedness change issues or add the appropriate under/overflow/undefined behavior checking. Might be helpful background reading: [INT02-C](https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/c/INT02-C.+Understand+integer+conversion+rules) (and other INTxy recommendations) and [Type Conversions](https://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=686170&seqNum=5). I find that using types that match the APIs I'll be passing them to is far easier than thinking through whether I didn't mess something up across implicit width and signedness changes.
