This is useless. Your code and runtime checks will then vary for the kind
of processor (32 or 64bit) you are compiling for. Even 'int' in C is
always 4 bytes. The 'long' type is most of the time equal to the size of a
pointer.

Don't expect that we change anything in this part. If you want to use an
integer with the natural size of the processor you can use ptrint or
ptruint.
