long_long and ulong_long deprecated

[stefan]

Hello list !

Working on the Win32 port of Guile for future release I noticed long_long
and ulong_long being deprecated. Could anyone explain it ?

If you want to compile the libguile with M$ VisualC or any other compiler
except the MinGW gcc on Win32 you stuck into the "long long" integer type.
The correct replacement for this is the "signed __int64" integer type. So
if using the long_long typedef there is no such problem:

#if __GNUC__
typedef long long long_long;
#else
typedef __int64; long_long;
#endif

Cheers,
