Issue: https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/8016 Comment Author: cmb69 I don't think that would make much sense. Even if we would support 64bit signed integers on 32bit platforms, most C APIs would still not support that (e.g. several file system functions which would need to be changed to LFS). Furthermore, it is even doubtful whether 32bit support generally makes much sense at this point. And it still wouldn't solve the overflow issues (int → float), which might be more elegantly solved by bignum support. At the very least, this would require an RFC. Do you want to pursue the RFC process?
