The sizeof(<pointer>) is always of 32bits or 4bytes on
x86 Architecture, and you can say that it is actually
the virtual address size of the Architecture. And
unsigned long is actually what I understand is the
size which a single architecture can address in a
single atempt, like roughly you can say that in x86
architecture long can be accesses in single cycle.
By defination, they can be not equal to each other but
practically it is same .........
Thanks and Regards,
Fawad
