64-bit Differences

Sample Code

#include <stdio.h>  /* printf   */
#include <stdint.h> /* intptr_t */

int main(void)
{
  int i = 123;       /* sizeof(int) depends on architecture */
  int *p1 = &i;      /* works on all architectures          */
  
  intptr_t j = 456;  /* intptr_t is a pointer-sized int */
  intptr_t *p2 = &j; /* works on all architectures      */
  
  i = (int)p1;       /* Probably works on 32-bit, may not on 64-bit */
  j = (intptr_t)p2;  /* Will work on either architecture             */

  printf("sizeof(short)     : %lu\n", sizeof(short));
  printf("sizeof(int)       : %lu\n", sizeof(int));
  printf("sizeof(long)      : %lu\n", sizeof(long));
  printf("sizeof(long long) : %lu\n", sizeof(long long));
  printf("sizeof(void*)     : %lu\n", sizeof(void*));
  printf("sizeof(size_t)    : %lu\n", sizeof(size_t));
  printf("sizeof(intptr_t)  : %lu\n", sizeof(intptr_t));

  return 0;
}
