Or to be pedantic, not 4 bytes but (typically) a machine word. It's a
reasonable assumption that everything is padded up to a machine word; in
that case you can portably pass ints, longs, chars, floats and pointers (on
a 32-bit or bigger machine) and probably doubles on a 64-bit machine. Stick
to integral types up to sizeof(uintptr_t) and pointers (since floats may be
doubles) and you're probably safe on 90% of systems.
