RE: Does Cygwin's GCC support 64-bit constants?

[lrtaylor at micron dot com]

Try adding 'L' to the end of the constant:

0xFF00000000000000L

That tells the compiler that it's a long and not an integer.

Cheers,
Lyle

Subject: Does Cygwin's GCC support 64-bit constants?

I'm getting the following warning message when I try to compile source
code that contains 0xFF00000000000000 as a constant.
warning: integer constant is too large for "long" type

Cywin's GCC appears to have 64-bit integer support since there are no
warnings/errors for uint64_t variables.

Below are the gcc details:
$ gcc -v

Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.1 (cygming special)

I have also tried to cast the constant (long long)0xFF00000000000000 --
it didn't change anything. Additionally, I have compiled this on Linux
and QNX with no issues.

Any insight is appreciated,
Nate
