c语言类型探索：unsigned long

c语言类型探索：unsigned long

0x00 缘起

目前在做mib相关的工作，oid节点的类型是counter64，支持私有mib的类型使用的是unsigned long，在考虑是不是够用，组内给出的结论是我们的平台上unsigned long和unsigned long long是相同位宽，即都为8字节。感觉自己基本功不扎实，故才有了这次探索

0x01 测试

事实胜于雄辩，我还是在设备上做下测试吧。结果显示的却是如此，unsigned long和unsigned long long是相同位宽，即都为8字节。

printf("unsigned long size = %ld\n", sizeof(unsigned long);
printf("unsigned long size = %ld\n", sizeof(unsigned long long);
