I have inherited an open source C project that assumes that

D has the size of long fixed at 64 bits, so a pointer now has
to be 64 bits.
No it's wrong. A pointer always has the size of a general
purpose register.
You misunderstand. The original C only works if the size of a
pointer is the same as the size of a long. So when translated
into D in a simple way where the size of a long is always 64 bits
the D will only work if the size of a pointer is 64 bits.
