From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Graham Murray To: "'gnu-win32@cygnus.com'" Subject: long long vs long Date: Tue, 21 Jul 1998 01:55:00 -0000 Message-id: <73B8DC108A44D111B44700805FF5C69D01E51F@cware> X-SW-Source: 1998-07/msg00443.html 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".
