[Opensync-devel] why long long?

[Chris F. <cd...@fo...>]

Hi,

While reading the opensync API from the application perspective, group
members are referred to by their ID, and this ID is a long long int.

In output from commands such as osynctool --showgroup GroupName, these
ID numbers start from 1.

Why is the member ID so large?  Is there really a risk of 9223372036854775807
different members?

The reason I ask is that 'long long' is not as portable as just long, and
there is no reason for such a large number, as far as I can see.

Thanks,
- Chris
