According to MSDN, LONG is a 32-bit signed integer.[1] Is the problem
that if a program uses LONG in a function declaration and then long in
the function definition, it wouldn't compile if LONG is defined to be
int, even on a 32-bit MSVC-like platform where both int and long
represent 32-bit signed integers?
