Force std::size_t to use UInt64 (unsigned long)

Hi,

I'm using Boost::uBLAS::m apped_matrix for working with sparse matrices.
At the moment, the maximum dimension of mapped_matrix is 65535x65535
since std::size_t compiles as unsigned int (UInt32).

I'm looking for a way of increasing this limit. The best way I can
think of would be to ensure that size_t uses a bigger (64-bit) type
rather than the current UInt32.

Can I force std::size_t to be defined as unsigned long? How/where?
I'm using VC 2005 (VC8) on Windows.

Thanks for your support.

Cheers,
Greg

Usually that's compiler-dependent. But what would be the point?
'unsigned long' is 32 bits on Windows.
How/where?

You need to ask in 'microsoft.publ ic.vc.language' or other relevant
newsgroup. My suspicion is that you need to go 64 bits.

Can I use template arguments to force the use of std::map<double ,
unsigned long?

Sorry, I meant to say 'unsigned long long' which is equivalent to
__uint64

Will try them. If anyone who sees this post who knows how to force
size_t to use __uint64 please post.

There is no "unsigned long long" in C++.

Whatever 'size_t' is defined to is governed by the implementation,
not by the programmer. You need to go to the newsgroup that deals
with your implementation.

Hi. I can't believe I may have to use an array here.

Anyway, I put the suggestion into effect, and it seems the routine that uses the stack of vectors (an in-place multiplication routine) is
