A long is 4 bytes even on 64 bit windows (backwards compatibility). long long is 8 bytes. ptrdiff_t is an integer large enough to hold a pointer on the target platform (4 bytes on 32 bit windows, 8 on 64 bit). Short int is always 16 bits on either windows.

It would be problematic on 64-bit machines anyway. Isn't a short int 
should 16-bits but on 64-bit machines (except WinXP) a long would be 
64-bits?  Or is a long int the same as an int?
