(that's the best linkable reference I could find, unfortunately).
I've run into a similar problem where an overload resolution for uint64_t was not being used when calling with a size_t because one was unsigned long and the other was unsigned long long, which are both 64 bit uints, but according to the compiler, they're different types.
This was a while ago so the details may be off, but the silly shape of the issue is correct.
It probably is, he's just probably using MacOS, where both long and long long are 64 bit. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/t...
