Is it appropriate to reopen a "closed for not enough detail" question if a solution was found anyway? [duplicate]

I posted a question—size_t == sizeof (uint64_t) not returning expected results—which was closed for "This question needs debugging details. It is not currently accepting answers."

I don't dispute that close reason; I was genuinely unable to provide a minimal repro case. Nonetheless, a commenter was able to determine my problem and provide a solution that worked perfectly for me. Is it appropriate to ask to reopen the question, so they can make it an "accepted answer" and get credit for their help, even though the question still doesn't meet the site guidelines?
