This doesn't work on the MacOS (Darwin 16.6.0) I have access to.
If we do
long size; // <-- type here matters!
size_t len = sizeof(size);
sysctlbyname(..., &size, &len, ...);
then size == 64.
However, if instead of 'long size' we have 'int size' (as in the patch),
then 'size == 1' yet sysctlbyname still returns 0. (!)
This is why I was using an intermediate long in my previous patch,
although obviously a comment there would have been appropriate.
FWIW, if we query what length sysctlbyname expects for this param (by
calling sysctlbyname(NAME, NULL, &size, NULL, 0), we get len == 8;
I presume on both 32 and 64-bit systems passing a long will work
OK here.
Thanks, missed that. I also have to fix up the _WIN32 case, for which I missed
a default: while rearranging things.
