Actually by using alt_u32 you will be sure that you have a 32-bit integer.

The C standard doesn't define the size of the int type, and depending on the compiler or architecture, "int" can mean 16, 32 or 64 bits. It has always been a problem with C and that's why each HAL redefines its own integer types.
