Well, afaict, on every linux archs I know of, unsigned longs and
size_t are the same.
IIRC, 64-bit Windows uses 64-bit points (duh) and hence a 64-bit
size_t, but still has got 32-bit longs. Documentation is a bit
sparse on this matter (because you are supposed to use LONG, DWORD
and friends anyway).
For reference, Linux is always an LP32 (long-and-pointer-are-32-bit)
or LP64 (long-and-pointer-are-64-bit) platform. On the other hand,
for crappy backwards-compat reasons, Windows is either LP32 or LLP64
(long-long-and-pointer-are-64-bit). I think most of the remaining
UNIXes fall into the LP32/LP64 category, the LLP64 platforms are
fairly rare (thankfully).
