DWORD is a 32 bit unsigned integer.
size_t is platform dependent, 32 bits in 32 bit Windows and 64 bits in
64 bit Windows. I assume this is similar in other OS like Linux.
Therfore you can't replace DWORD by size_t without checking the impact.

Further there is an additional member cap_pipe_buf in the #ifdef(_WIN32) branch.
