[ Asked of the group: ] What would be the consequences of withdrawing
Marpa's support for compilers without a "long long int"? Marpa is
basically C90-compliant, but some restrictions which a degree of sense
in 1990 simply don't now. One (just mentioned) is the requirement to
support systems with 16-bit int's.
A compiler can be C90-compliant without a "long long". But
realistically, is there anyone out there who would miss it if Marpa
refused to build under a compiler without a "long long"?
As background for the non-C programmers: "long long int" must be at
least 16-bits but, even on systems without 64-bit instructions,
compilers typically "dummy up" the type using 32-bit instructions.
