I've clarified the _INTEGER64 Wiki page, it was indeed misleading.

Of course, you can safely use (_UNSIGNED) _INTERGER64 on both, 32 bit or 64 bit systems. The values are the same for both, only the use of _UNSIGNED determines if you can use the higher positive values as with every other integer variable type.

As for your question about the usage of the processor's internal math co-processor, I could imagine the underlying C/C++ compiler will be smart enough to do that where it is applicable and makes sense.


Thanks for the quick reply to my questions.

I've checked the new WIKI page for "_INTEGER64" and it is a lot easier to understand now :

I'm also glad to hear that _UNSIGNED works the same on 32 bit and 64 bit systems, regardless of the processor type.

Thanks again for your reply, and for all the work you put into the WIKI pages.
