Let us know. :-) I at least wanted to hear wether there are some principial contra's against this, because it would be a waste of time if it turned out that one wouldn't ever think of implementing this. And I didn't know wether this has been thought over before. A major point is of course that it would probably break ALL extensions, unless they use Z_LVAL() macro's all the time in stead of zval.value.lval... I'll see wether I can get it more or less running without too much work... My estimate is that the performance inpact will be not more than a few percents, probably lower. But it's an estimate! > On the 32bit environments, 64bit integers are implemented as long long, > unless you want to implement the 64bit manipulation routines yourself > (yikes.) I didn't plan to implement it myself... yikes indeed. The question was wether all compilers on 32bit platforms DO have long long support at all, in other words: is it true that all compilers for which PHP needs to compile have a C-type which is 64bit (native or not)? --Jeroen Jeroen van Wolffelaar Jeroen@A-Eskwadraat.nl http://www.A-Eskwadraat.nl/~jeroen
