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.

Beyond the above, not that I'm aware.
