64-bit vs 32-bit with passing data on the net

[Tuan Hoang]

Hi,

Let's say I have the following message struct that I pass
around.

struct packet {
  u_char  type;
  u_long  length;
  int     foo;
  u_short bar;
};

When I go from a 32-bit to 64-bit machine, I could have sworn
that the "int" was architecture dependent and not the "long".
According to Steven's UNP vol1, it says that the "int" will stay at
32-bits and the long as 64-bits.  Also that the "short" will stay at
16-bits.

Is this a right?

Thanks,
Tuan
