ANSI C defines it that way. size_t is unsigned int or unsigned long, depending
on the platform.

The "64 Bit UnixWare Porting Guide" demonstrates one "broken code segment":

        void dbg_size(size_t nbytes) {
                
                printf("Got %u bytes.\n", nbytes); /* broken */
                
                printf("Got %lu bytes.\n", (unsigned long)nbytes); /* OK */
        }
