Description
Those data types are platform specific (eg 8-byte in Mac, 4-byte in Win and 4-byte in x86 Linux but 8-byte in x64 Linux) and can cause issues when used from higher libraries (eg. see https://github.com/Ruslan-B/FFmpeg.AutoGen/issues/217) with struct size/alignments.
They shouldn't be many (at least for public API) but the most important one, is the 'unsigned long checksum' in AVIOContext.
(Just wondering, any actual reason of their existence?)
