- I'm interested in using the "long long" datatype on a SunOS Sparc (to
- help with my PDP-10 emulator) but there appear to be some missing
- pieces that the 2.0 documentation doesn't mention.
-
- - How do you specify a "long long" integer constant? Standard C provides
- for constructs like "1L"; what's the equivalent for long long? There
- is no explicit assurance that an otherwise normal constant will be
- given the extended datatype if its value is larger than can be
- accomodated by a long.
-
- - There seems to be no supporting <limits.h> entry for a long long.
- The form of this naturally depends on the previous point.

- Thanks,
