I think that it's consisitent to use SSIZE_T.  It's better to change.

On the other hand, we know that MSVC compiles some code differently
(than developers expect).  I have experiences to examine constant-time
intended code compiled by MSVC, using godbolt.org.  I wonder (and am not
sure) if our libgcrypt is OK when building with MSVC.
