You miss the point, why intrin.h header can use size_t here even for mingw-w64. The point is that LP64 target provides type size_t proper for its ABI. Same we do for mingw case. The intrin.h header is a C-runtime header and due this header additional makes sure we have C-linkage, we have no issues about signatures here. Later is btw the cause why implementation in .c can use size_t instead, due it uses C and therefore has no special signatures, too. So signature of inline-function has to be same as for its prototype. For C++ signatures have to be same, as otherwise C++ will see it as two different functions. One with C-linkage, and one with C++'s. As the shared prototype for those functions are coming from winnt.h header, therefore functions are belonging to platform-header.
