The obvious solution is to add, as backup if there is no "unsigned long long int" at configure time, a search for the uint64_t type, which C99 requires and many other compilers support. But I was wondering if there was any knowledge about the particular situation in the linked-to problem report. If I did it now it would be a shot in the dark -- for all I know it may not support either, in which case I've complicated my build without necessarily adding a single new platform, present or future, to the list of those supported.

Hmmm... would you mind to assume a C99 compatible compiler ? Then there is int64_t, which IMHO is better than long long int, if your concern is the storage size.

    From Activestate's site, I get this report of a Microsoft compile
    failure

    because I require "long long int".  My questions, for those more
    attuned to the world of Microsoft than I, are

    1.)  Should I care?  That is, does it look like the setup is
    broken, or does it seem so oddball that I should ignore it?

    2.)  If I should care, what's a good workaround?. "long long int"
    is used to ensure that the int is at least 64-bits.  There are
    other ways to do that, none 100% portable.  I'd assume there is
    some way that this compiler likes to be asked for a 64-bit int.

    Thanks, jeffrey
