Re: size_t under Windows ...

Not necessarily, in certain variations building WinXP and Win7 can lead to
size_t being 4 byte, but the pointer PVOID either 8 byte or 4 byte
depending on the target compile environment.

I would stick with a definition of size_t, because others will have to
handle the right size, not us.

cheers

Couldn't it be replaced by guint32 then, and the guard removed?

DWORD is a 32 bit unsigned integer.
size_t is platform dependent, 32 bits in 32 bit Windows and 64 bits in
64 bit Windows. I assume this is similar in other OS like Linux.
Therfore you can't replace DWORD by size_t without checking the impact.

Further there is an additional member cap_pipe_buf in the #ifdef(_WIN32)
branch.
