Hi,
is anybody against turning on USE_64_BIT_INT in coming 32bit Strawberry
Perl 5.18.x series ?
I have done some testing with PDL guys approx a year ago on 5.16.0 (I guess
Rob is also subscribed to this list) and AFAIK it works.
Pros:
1/ perl core 5.17.* supports building perl with USE_64_BIT_INT on MSWin
without any special hacking that was needed for 5.16.0
2/ PDL users are gonna like it
3/ Cool stuff like https://metacpan.org/module/Mango will work on 32bit
strawberry perl
4/ Couple of others asking me privately will appreciate it (they ask: why
32bit cygwin perl can have 64_BIT_INT and 32bit strawberry not?)
