[Boost-users] [hash] hash returning fixed width integer instead of size_t?

I would like this code return the same hash on different machines:

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/functional/hash.hpp>
int main() {
        boost::hash<std::string> hasher;
        std::cout<<hasher("abcd");
        return 0;
}

But I get 1244709680 when size_t is 32 bits and 706246339511088 when
size_t is 64 bits.
Is it possible to have hash work with fixed width uint32_t instead of size_t?
