Martin this has NOTHING to do with getting 64 bit support into core. That has already been achieved by the introduction of 64 bit builds. What this is about is modifying integer support so that when an integer gets bigger than 64bits on a 64bit platform, it automatically folds to a gmp object bidden in the background. My problem is with that process happening when a 32bit integer becomes a gmp object on a 32bit platform. Under some conditions that SHOULD overflow as it does currently, but in other conditions you want a 64 bit number that overflows at 64 bits even on the 32bit platform. As Leigh has also identified, handling of wrap around in these cases is equally important. 'Arbitrary integer math' has a place - fine, but most exist in parallel with fixed integer maths. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
