Value Types

• sizes of standard types (int, long, …) are architecture dependent

• additional Vala types int8, int16, int32, int64 (signed), uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64 (unsigned) with architecture independent guaranteed sizes

• no byte, sbyte (use uint8, int8 instead)

• no decimal

• C# char is UCS-2, not Vala’s char, but similar to Vala’s UCS-4 unichar
