Why does -pedantic make long long an error in C++?

[Andrew Pinski]

In fact the C++ front-end is different from the C front end in respect 
to -pedantic.
Here is the patch which changed the "long long" -pedantic into errors: 
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-07/msg01060.html>
Looks like the warning about "long long" with -pedantic was always 
indented to be an error not a warning.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski

Adding Mark to CC since it was his patch which caused this, maybe he 
has something to say.
