Tony, Dirk sent a good response. I would like to add to that that it goes beyond just bits in SEXP: adding a new type involved in arithmetics is not only a lot of work but has performance implications. Also it is unclear how it should behave in the int32_t, double, int64_t triangle of vector cl

Hi everyone, I heard somewhere that Core R is developing the implementation of true 64bit integers. Is this true? If so, may I know what the status is of this development, and when, approximately, one can expect 64bit integers to be available in R? Thank you for your time! Kind regards, Tony
