Actually, unsigned long is an unsigned integer. He didn't write unsigned int.
> "Usually size_t corresponds with long of given architecture." No: For example, on Win64 size_t is 64 bits whereas long is 32 bits.
"Usually" is the keyword here. He could have said "Usually size_t has at least the same amount of bits as long" and it would be better related to the referred rule.
- zurn 13y agoThe "short" long is fantastically tasteless, it's not like source compatiblity with Win16 is has resulted in 64-bit builds of apps appearing.
