Size_t on x86 is uint,on x64 is ulong,it's a good thing?

You are only supposed to use `size_t` (and `ptrdiff_t`) for 
things that represent pointer indexing, pointer offsets, or their 
genral abstractions (indexing a slice, getting the length of a 
range...).

If you want to store "just a number", then select an integral 
type with pre-defined size.
