If you migrate your projct from x86 to x64,you will find the
length is error,you must modify it ,such as:
int i= (something).length
to
size_t i = (something).length
but now ,'int' is enough for use,not huge and not small,only
enough.
'int' is easy to write,and most people are used to it.
Most importantly easier to migrate code,if 'length''s return
value type is 'int'.
Thank you all.
drop your C.
auto len = smth.length;
works ok for both x86 and x86_64 (don't know what x64 is).
x64 is commonly used by windows programmers to refer to x86_64
with a 64 bit OS.
