I am curious to know what it is you are measuring/counting/whatever that is almost exhausting a 64-bit int.
(FYI: a GUID is 128-bit, tho you cannot perform arithmetic on/using GUIDs of course) -----Original Message----- From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz [mailto:delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz] On Behalf Of John Bird Sent: Tuesday, 21 September 2010 11:08 To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: [DUG] integer or int64 Quite a few built in Delphi functions accept either integer or int64 as an argument, I checked into inttostr for instance, in that case its asm code. I have quite a few standard number processing routines, and up to now have done one version for integer, and another for int64. Is it feasible to have an argument/parameter to a function that can be either (like Delphi does)? is it possible to test whether such an argument is either integer or int64? Related - Does anyone know if an int128 is on the cards down the track? (I have some functions that use numbers nearly up to int64 limit - 17 of the 18 digits decimal length) John _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe
