    Description

      The long type has a size of 32bits on 32bit platforms and on Windows-64, but is 64bits on Unix 64bit platforms. Because its size depends on the platform its use should be avoided in shared code. However, there are a fair number of such uses, some of which result in bugs. (JDK-8235740 is one minor example.)
