NT386/longint changes are almost entirely in the m3back package.<BR>
There is also some small easy stuff in m3-libs/m3core/src/Csupport/common/hand.c.<BR>
It'd be really great if anyone could test any of this and if<BR>
anyone could review the diff between release and head.<BR>
<BR>
Not just me.<BR>
The changes for longint are quite large, even if local.<BR>
<BR>
I can port them, in the case of m3back, just copy, and make sure<BR>
the atomics stuff doesn't cause problems (it should be unused).<BR>
There is also a small change in m3front so that longint can be initialized.<BR>
That affects all platforms.<BR>
<BR>
And a small change in m3cc/parse.c for div/mod of longint on non-NT386.<BR>
I have to test mod yet but my fix probably helps it.<BR>
<BR>
It'd be really great if anyone could do anything with this stuff.<BR>
ie. for now in head, then could easily port to release.<BR>
<BR>
We can of course release either way, depending on how satisfied people<BR>
are with 32bit longint on NT386. i.e. longint isn't useful portably, but it<BR>
is useful on non-NT386 platforms.<BR>
