As was mentioned before, you can't use sizeof in preprocessor
expressions.

I don't know of any 32-bit systems where long is longer than 32 bits,
only 64-bit systems.  And 64-bit systems are likely to have more memory
than you'll know what to do with, anyway, so like I said before, if you
need more than 32 bits, just use long and be done with it.
