[pdf-devel] New 64 bit type for the base layer

[Daniel Vidal]

Hi,

My name is Daniel and I'm new to the PDF list. I've been checking the
architecture and API, specially the time management section.Since
there is a potential need for a 64 bit integer type for the pdf_time_t
and pdf_time_span_t  types defined in the time management section (to
be able to cover a wide enough range of years from a predefined
reference date) , I propose the inclusion of this generic 64 bit
integer type in the base layer (e.g. typedef pdf_u32_t[2] pdf_i64_t or
something similar). It will be used in the time management
implementation but it will most probably end up being useful for other
stuff too. Along with the typedef, basic arithmetic operations must be
defined too (e.g. +, - , * , /, etc...).

Any comments to this potential addition?

Cheers,
Daniel
