I suspect that there's a problem with the size of the literals on the 64-bit compilers. Does one declare a 64-bit literal by appending a double L ('LL')? If so, then I'll give that a try.

This will depend on the compiler. I am not sure what GCC does, but for MS (and compatible compilers - Borland, CodeWarrior, Intel and others) you do: __int64 biglit = 2i64; unsigned __int64 biglit2 = 2ui64; If GCC has the ll and ull prefixes, you could create a macro for defining signed/unsigned 64-bit literals either where uint64_t is defined or in Boost.Config. e.g.: uint64_t biglit = MAKE_UINT64_T( 2 ); - Reece
