If a size_t is cast to a long, and size_t is the length of a unicode string, does the resulting long need to be divided by sizeof(_TCHAR) in order to get the actual length in _TCHARs?

If the size_t contains the size of a TCHAR string, you should always divide
by sizeof(TCHAR) to get the length of the string.
