C++ basic data types that are cross-platform [message #1856151]

Primitive data types in C++, unlike Java or C#, can vary in size depending on the platform. Int is not guaranteed to be a 32-bit integer, for example. For this reason, several compiler environments create data types such as uint32 or dword, but there appears to be no standard included file for fixed-size data types.
According to this tutorial, I should create a header file named types.h and specify all of the fixed-size primitive types I require (int32, uint32, uint8, etc.). Is that right?
What is the best way to achieve the greatest portability?
