What is the difference between uint32 and uint32_t in C/C++?

Are they OS-dependent?

In which case should I use one or another?

uint32_t is standard, uint32 is not. That is, if you include <inttypes.h> or <stdint.h>, you will get a definition of uint32_t. uint32 is a typedef in some local code base, but you should not expect it to exist unless you define it yourself. And defining it yourself is a bad idea.
