I could be persuaded otherwise with an example of a program for which
changing __s64 from 'long long' to 'long' would break *binary* backward
compatibility, or similarly for __u64.
C++ could break.
Thinking of this again we can detect C++ as well so it can be safely
enabled just for C with:
#if !defined(__KERNEL__) && !defined(__cplusplus) && __BITSPERLONG == 64
# include <asm-generic/int-l64.h>
#else
# include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>
#endif
I'm very interested in seeing this merged, as that would allow
simplifying the man-pages by removing unnecessary kernel details such as
u64[1]. How is the state of this patch?
I guess that it stalled because I haven't posted it as an actual patch,
I should do so to get this back on a track.
