-An unsigned 32-bit integer intended to represent sizes of data structures.
+An unsigned integer type of the result of the sizeof operator, corresponding
+to the size_t type defined in C99. This type is wide enough to hold the numeric
+value of a pointer, so it is usually 32bit wide on a 32bit platform and
