gcc has it : http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/_005f_005fint128.html (at least for 64bits) > But MSVC 9 does not support it on x86: it gives an error C4235 > <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7e5yy2kb(v=vs.80).aspx>. Shit it work only for c++ Do you think it is worthwhile to compile c under mscv with c++ backend ? Bastien > Bruno > -- > In memoriam Georgi Markov <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgi_Markov> >
