size_t is unsigned.

size_t is defined is stddef.h. We do need C89 even on embedded platforms.

I am sure that Win64 defines size_t as unsigned __int64.

I think it was an oversight because malloc has always used size_t. I
see that Amiga builds do not use malloc bot probably undestand size_t
nonetheless.

%zu should work for gcc and VC2015 and up.

%p is implementation defined, perhaps %#p will prefix 0x on all platforms.
