Yes, but that is 64 bits wide even on 32 bit architectures.

That doesn't come with a guarantee either.

The cleanest solution IMO would be to introduce a few "#ifdef"s, and
just add "typedef UINTPTR_T uintptr_t;" on MSVC (MSYS has a definition
for uintptr_t), but doing that in a way that doesn't break anything else
will be more involved.
