Re: [Swig-user] swig for python produces 'long long illegal' on win xp

[Kurien M. <km...@en...>]

Actually swig has some typemaps/%apply that should map "long long" to 
"__int64" on windows. eg In windows.i

%apply long long { __int64 };
%apply const long long& { const __int64& };

But this did not seem to avoid "long long" in the wrapper code that was 
generated.
