What i wanted to say was that long long is a system-extension type
regarding C++. In a platform the type long could be a 64-bit type. I
mean that it is not safe to think long as less than 64-bit or anything
specific.
In C99 there is the type long long, however nothing restriccts it to be
128-bit in another platform. Unavoidably a size-specific type is
implementation-dependent and thus code using it cannot be considered
portable (even when using the int64_t C99 type, since it is not required
to be implemented. This kind of things in C99 is one of what i do not
like in C99).
