Re: [TCLCORE] Tcl_WideInt and long long

[Donal F. <don...@ma...>]

I'd be very happy if we ended up using int64_t and uint64_t from <stdint.h>, which I think should be there in all but the most recalcitrant C implementation now. Everything to do with "wide ints" was a bodge to work around that not being a common header file 20 years ago.

I would be OK with throwing away TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE.
Changing it would be a binary incompatible changes, and too
many internal constructs would break if
sizeof(Tcl_WideInt) > sizeof(long long)
