As such, would it be feasible to define these instruments as 64bit
instead of 32bit? If so, a cursory look at the code seems to indicate
that this would only require a change in the header files.
It would break every application looking at these datastructures
right now.
I cannot deny that would be a problem but conversely, those applications
are currently in a position where they may be depending on inaccurate
data. I'm not advocating breaking things for the sake of breaking things
but my feeling is that this will eventually need to be addressed. Since
the segs datastructure is a relatively recent addition it might make
sense to make that change now before it's even more baked in to other
applications.
