The main difference between ANDF and conventional intermediate program
forms is that ANDF represents an abstraction of high-level languages while
the others like RTL typically represent an abstraction of the target
architecture.
The Producer translates from the high level language to ANDF.
The Installer then maps ANDF to a suitable representation on the target
machine.
Depending on the target machine an long could then be 16 or
32 or 64 or ... bits. So it's the Installer that makes assumptions about
the target machine not the translator ( Producer ) I would say.
