# Considering Portability
## Know Your Types
Most portability issues that generate warnings are because we are not careful about our types. Standard library and arrays are indexed with `size_t`. Standard container sizes are reported in `size_t`. If you get the handling of `size_t` wrong, you can create subtle lurking 64-bit issues that arise only after you start to overflow the indexing of 32-bit integers. char vs unsigned char.
