[ios] Types in Objective-C on iOS

Note that you can also use the C99 fixed-width types perfectly well in Objective-C:

#import <stdint.h>
...
int32_t x; // guaranteed to be 32 bits on any platform

The wikipedia page has a decent description of what's available in this header if you don't have a copy of the C standard (you should, though, since Objective-C is just a tiny extension of C). You may also find the headers limits.h and inttypes.h to be useful.
