It looks like the question now is in the correct name of the function. It really looks suspicious to call it CodePointerSize in this case. Largest seems to be better because that is what actually happens there - pointer size is used in different contexts, but
largest possible size works for all of them.<u></u><u></u></p>

If it is to replace this with a getPointerSize() that has no clear attached semantic, I don’t see this as a progress.<br>
