A type long long int is part of the ISO standard presently under consideration (C9X). It is also not a "total violation" of the current ISO (C89/C94) standard in any meaningful sense. TenDRA can and already does support type long long int. > > I've sent off a mail to the contact person for the TenDRA team; I'll > wait and see that they say about the feasibility of using TenDRA as an > OS compiler. This was the subject of an Open Group research study (involving UnixWare and Linux) around 1995. (Fairly obviously, it is feasible.) The critical issue, however, is really whether it is feasible to compile *FreeBSD* with a non-GCC compiler. Any real problems will be due to FreeBSD (GCC quirks in the code) not to the compiler. (There are no fundamental difficulties inherent in compiling UNIX-like systems). -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
