From: GMurray@cware.co.uk (Graham Murray) Subject: long long vs long 21 Jul 1998 10:24:41 -0700 Message-ID: <73B8DC108A44D111B44700805FF5C69D01E51F.cygnus.gnu-win32@cware> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain To: "'gnu-win32@cygnus.com'" This is probably a silly question, but rather than having long long for 64 bit, why was long not made 64bit? The standard (AFAIK) states that short <= int <= long. So, it should be possible for long to be 64 bit rather than 32. This would give a simple progression from 8bit chars to 64bit longs. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
