This is not exactly correct. I think what you meant to say, is "long isn't the same size as a pointer on Windows". Long us guaranteed only to be able to hold up to 4 bytes of data. That some platforms compile it to a size larger than 4 bytes is an unfortunate deviation from what (IMO) should be the norm of holding EXACTLY the minimum required size. In any case, any code that expects long to hold more than 4 bytes is fundamentally broken.
