int64_t == long long

[Yang Zhang <yanghatespam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, why isn't int64_t == long long at least on 64-bit x86 Linux?

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3.6/gcc/Long-Long.html

says that these are *at least* 64 bits.  How do I tell what type this 
actually is?  And are literals ending with LL always long long?

Thanks in advance for any answers!
