You could check IntPtr.Size to see if you’re on a 32-bit (IntPtr.Size == 4) or 64-bit (IntPtr.Size == 8) platform.

Alternatively, you could use a type which already defined as 32-bits on 32-bit platforms and 64-bits on 64-bit platforms: System.intPtr.

(Yes, math would be awful and suck, but assignment & comparison will properly work. Arithmetic would need to go through `long` first.)

Ah. Uh…
