The Data General AViiON workstation supplies gcc as its native compiler. One of the GNU extensions are the long long data type (64 bit ints). The compiler seems to like them just fine, however, I can't find a way to print them out or read them in. A look through the man pages for printf, scanf and the GNU gcc info files reveals nothing interesting. Am I overlooking something? -- Doug Scofea Email: nimbus3!djs@cis.ohio-state.edu Phone:+1 614 459-1889

What's the type called? 'enormous int' (as opposed to short and long int)? :-) Chris -- Chris Ridd, Computer Science, Birmingham Uni, UK -- RiddCJ@Cs.Bham.Ac.Uk -- "'It's going to look pretty good, then, isn't it,' said War testily, 'the One Horseman and Three Pedestrians of the Apocralypse.'" - Sourcery

The GNU C library's printf and scanf functions support long long ints.
So, when I release the C library (don't ask when), you will be able to do:
{
long long int foo;
scanf("%lld", &foo);
printf("%lld\n", foo);
}
you can also use `L' (which means long double for e, f, and g formats) to
specify long long int for formats which deal with ints.
