... BTW, why c_long is always 32 bit for windows?

(In reply to Илья Ярошенко from comment #0) > BTW, why c_long is always 32 bit for windows? I suppose for compatibility with code written for 32-bit architecture, though long was 32-bit in 16-bit mode too.

It's issues like that which make it so that I avoid long like the plague in C/C++. Personally, I use int if I don't care about the size, and one of the (u)int*_t types if I do, and I'm very glad that D mostly doesn't have the same problem where the size of types varies from system to system (though we're kind of stuck with regards to stuff like size_t due to how important it is that it interact properly with the pointer size on the machine).
