Is the unsigned long long primitive data type supported in ANSI
standard C?
I've tried using it a couple of times in standard C, but to no avail.
I'm using both MS VIsual C++ 6, as well as the gcc compiler that comes
with RedHat linux 9.
If not, what data type will yield the largest unsigned integer for me?
Thanks for your help,
Rich

In C99, yes. In C90, no. Most current implementations of ANSI standard
C are still C90.
I've tried using it a couple of times in standard C, but to no avail.

unsigned long.

Actually GCC has supported "unsigned long long" for quite some time. MSVC
supports "unsigned __int64" which is a 64-bit type..

I don't know how to answer your question.
uint64_t might be useful still?

Yes, but hardly in ANSI standard C, or what?

I would think that the difference between the ANSI and ISO versions of
the C standard is entirely bureaucratic and has no effect on the
technical content.

Tom assumes we're dealing with the latest not the oldest.
Otherwise crack out some K&R !

Hi, suppose I have an unsigned long long. I would like to extract
the front 'n' bits of this value and convert them into an integer.
For example, if I extract the first 3 bits, I would get an int between
0 and 7 (=2^3-1). Could someone please help out?
I can assume the largest returned value fits in an int. Also,
I'm on a big-endian PPC (AIX), in case that matters.
Ideally, I'd like to implement a prototype like:

I was writing a testing program to test the ranges of char, short, int

Everything was fine except for unsigned int and unsigned long. I got

unsigned int: 0 to 65535
unsigned long: 0 to 4294967295

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
