[M3devel] cm3 regression

[Jay]

new source -> compiling Cstdlib.i3"..\src\C\32BITS\BasicCtypes.i3", line 18: illegal based LONGINT literal, zero used"..\src\C\32BITS\BasicCtypes.i3", line 18: illegal based LONGINT literal, zero used
  long_long          = [-16_7fffffffffffffffL-1L .. 16_7fffffffffffffffL];
 
Why isn't this LONGINT? So that NT386 can limp along? And it'd be correct for the rest, eh?
I'll try it and see..
 
The underlying system (the compiler) has (U)Int[8,16,32,64]
They should just be used here imho..
 
Also, what should "long" be on 64bit?
On Windows it is 32 bits always.
On 32 bit systems it is 32 bits.
I think the 64bits directory is going to be forked for AMD64_NT_*.
The Windows decision imho has successfully been applied to more code and more users so therefore is better by practical success, even if the whole issue is problematic almost no matter what. Clearly the C and Modula-3 notions of integers are pretty poor..
