Hi list,
I would like to propose the addition of format codes for pack() and
unpack() to work with 64 bit integers.
Pierre suggested I create an RFC for this.
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/pack_unpack_64bit_formats
The RFC proposes both perl-compatible, and perl-incompatible codes,
however I think they all make sense for PHP.
Please review and discuss the proposed changes and see how you feel about them,
Thanks,
Leigh.
P.S @andrea your comments from the original thread are addressed in the RFC.
