Hi, 1. With most (all?) 64-bit Linux/Unix following the LP64 model: http://www.unix.org/version2/whatsnew/lp64_wp.html int_t<64>::least could give either a "long" or "long long" . uint_t<64>::least could give either a "unsigned long" or "unsigned long long". In this case I'd prefer just "long" or "unsigned long". 2. However with M$ 64bit Windows following the ILP64 there is no other choice but int_t<64>::least gives "long" or "long long". However even on 64-bit Windows with Interix (SUA/SFU) the LP64 model is is followed. 3. Now I remember someone already already come up with a patch?

I would like to have "long long" and "unsigned long long" supported by boost::int_t and boost::uint_t. E.g., on Win32, VC++, I would expect int_t<64>::least to get me a long long.
Are there plans to add this kind of support? Otherwise, should I submit my request as a ticket to svn.boost.org/trac/boost ?
It looks like "long long" support can be added quite easily, as I already did so on my local copy of boost/integer.hpp.
