Yes, you are right. A check of stdint.h shows: /* Largest integral types. */ #if __WORDSIZE == 64 typedef long int intmax_t; typedef unsigned long int uintmax_t; #else __extension__ typedef long long int intmax_t; __extension__ typedef unsigned long long int uintmax_t; #endif
Thank you for pointing out my error. I was suggesting long long, but uintmax_t is ALREADY unsigned long long. Thanks again.
