-fdefault-integer-8 in c

[John (Eljay) Love-Jensen]

Hi José,

Is there any reason you can't use int64_t from <stdint.h>?

Or use int64_t indirectly by:

#include <stdint.h>
typedef int64_t matrix_index;

The difficulty then will be to scrub your code to replace your int index types with matrix_index index type.

On a 64-bit machine, where the natural word size is 64, I think that int should be 64-bit.  But apparently my preferences are not in vogue.

On all the 64-bit machines I use, int is half-word size (32-bit).

Sincerely,
--Eljay
