Typically, either you control the compiler and options used to build the module and all its clients, and you can use any typeor you don't, and you can use only platform-provided types and C++ built-in types (even then, document the size and representation you expect for the latter). In particular, never mention standard library types in the interface of a module unless all other modules that use it will be compiled at the same time and with the same standard library source image.
Fortunately I control the compiler for all modules. But it was an interesting read, so thanks.
