As far as forward thinking is concerned, I would suggest thinking of a
way to query the host architecture to determine the native size of int
instead of using static declarations.

The reason I point this out, is because while it is still important to
run Csound on DOS machines, we are fast approaching another limit
similar to the Y2K bug of the past, but with more impact specifically
on Unix/Linux/BSD type systems. [1], [2]

When the year 2038 finally arrives, I would hope that Csound can make
some reasonably sane inferences about the size of internal variables
on its host's architecture.
