Sorry for my possibly ignorant question, but I couldn't find any pertinent information so far.
Is there a recommended way of how to proceed when an application needs to store data in platform independent manner?
When you say store, do you mean to a file? If you are just talking about 'portable types' as the title implies, you should look at: http://www.boost.org/libs/integer/cstdint.htm It's not that obvious from the docs, but you have types like boost::int32_t, boost::uint32_t, etc.
Is there support in boost? Is anything planned?
Beyond the above, not that I'm aware. HTH, Jeff
