Core scheduling lands in Linux 5.14
Oh I didn't realize its size varies on x86 and x64... I thought it's always 64-bit under compilers that target Linux! Today I learned...

There is a difference between 'long' and 'long long'. I believe the latter
is
always 64 bits on Linux.

I'm indeed aware of that one :-)

I think the size can vary by compiler rather than just by architecture.

Yeah it can but in practice systems have a canonical model in their official headers.

And yet msvc and gcc disagree on sizeof(long) on AMD64.
Edit: but of course you meant OS with system, not hardware architecture :)
