Searching the list archive reveals several previous discussions of extending boost::int_t<N> to work with sizes up to 64 bits. These were all several years ago when there may have been compiler issues that made this complex. Would it be true to say that today int64_t is sufficiently widely available that it could be used in integer.hpp?
I have hacked a local copy to work with int64_t. Patch follows. Any comments?
I made a patch along those lines a few months back that's sitting in the patches section at SF ( http://tinyurl.com/2gq3xt ). It doesn't assume the availability of anything bigger than long by using BOOST_HAS_LONG_LONG and BOOST_HAS_MS_INT64. It also adjusts uint_value_t and friends so you can request values >= 2**32 safely. Hopefully something like this will get applied once 1.34 is dealt with. ~ Scott McMurray
