I'm not sure I understand what your question is about: are you asking
what MPI datatypes you should use to send C types "long", "int", etc.,
or are you trying to send a more complex C type ("vector")?
Can you send some code demonstrating the problem you are trying to solve?
Besides, your wording suggests that you are trying to send a C++
std::vector<T> over MPI: have you already had a look at Boost.MPI? It
has out-of-the-box support for STL containers.
Cheers,
Riccardo
