Well the biggest thing you need to do is not use ints to store pointers, and use things like size_t, etc. This accounts for the majority of C programming bugs when moving from 32 bits to 64 bits. As for making assumptions, this is only natural, and programmers should be aware of the basic differences so they can correct their assumptions.
