How to declare an unsigned long long in Protobuf?

Question

What is the right way to declare an unsigned LongLong (unsigned __int64) in Protobuf, so it would be used for both, Android and Windows?

EDIT: I thought that I might need to use to variables, each holds a uint64, but I wasn't sure if this is the correct way to go.

UPDATE

I used uint64 in the protobuf file and compile it. the result in the cpp file was unsigned __int64. I got confused because in the docs they say it is mapped to long..

The documentation clearly lists the available scalar types.

Not sure exactly what you're after, but perhaps uint64?

Thanks, but I am looking for decleration of unsigned long long, and uint64 is just unsigned long.. – user844541 Aug 15 '13 at 08:39

@user844541 `unsigned long long` is guaranteed to have a size of 64 bits nothing more! – πάντα ῥεῖ Aug 15 '13 at 09:12
and uint64 is guaranteed to have 64 bits? – user844541 Aug 15 '13 at 09:21
@user844541 certainly on the wire it is; one *assumes* that implementations with a 64-bit type would use it – Marc Gravell Aug 15 '13 at 10:16
