Hi,

Is the GNU C++ "long long int" type (64 bits) fast on the Intel platform
(using DOS or Windows)? I am mainly interested in bitwise operations (&
| ! << >> etc) and comparisons (== <= >= !=), rather than arithmetic.

By fast, I mean is it any slower (or even significantly slower) than the
equivalent operations with 32 bit integers? I couldn't find anything in
the docs or the FAQ; if I missed something, please point it out.

Thanks for your help, and bye for now,
