I copied that code from some other file (I forgot which one.); presumably, that author couldn't find a ULONG_MAX equivalent for the __int64 type family. If there is one, or a better alternative that never chokes on non-Windows systems, can you tell me?
I wonder if my compiler is too permissive in ignoring the constant, or the others are too strict in interpreting it. Which compilers are affected? (I'm using Apple's special GCC 4.0.1, Mac OS X 10.4 PowerPC.) This is on the trunk, right? I never intended this to go into the current release branch.
#if defined(BOOST_HAS_LONG_LONG) Then use unsigned long long, and uLL as the suffix. #elif defined(BOOST_HAS_MS_INT64) Then use __int64 and the ui64 suffix. #endif HTH, John.
