[Cast thy bread upon the waters...] I am looking for prior art in the consistent implementation of the "long long" data type. In our compiler, we currently support the following types and sizes: char - 8 bits short - 16 bits int - 32 bits long - 32 bits we want to add: long long - 64 bits. I am looking for companies that have already added "long long" to their datatypes, and their solutions to: - suffixes for constants - format designator(s) for *printf and *scanf families Any citation is interesting. If you have opinions, objections, etc., mail to me and I will summarize if there is sufficient interest. -- Kirk Hays - NRA Life. (hays@ssd.intel.com)

Why not make 'long' 64 bits?
