uint64_t
(Yes, it has been standard for almost 12 years already.)

And how do you specify a 64-bit unsigned integer in assembly, exactly?
(Remember: You complained how C integral types are system-dependent.)

Depends on the algorithm. (C++ is definitely better in this aspect
because in many cases it removes the need to worry about memory management
so you can just concentrate on the algorithm itself, although not always.)
