So far, I know that both long long and int64_t are 64-bit > signed integral types. int64_t is a typedef, *not* a base type. The actual type depends on the platform. For i386, int64_t is a typedef for long long, on an LP64 arch as x86-64, it's a typedef for long as longs are 64 bits. > but I was hoping someone would be able to explain things to a bit more > depth (e.g. rationale). Does the above make it clearer? Philipp
