16-bit processors. I suspect that when there will be 128-bit processors, long will still be 64 bits, just like int is still 32 bits on 64-bit processors. AFAIK, int was originally designed to have the size of general purpose CPU registers, but this is no longer the case! -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) _______________________________________________ gmp-devel mailing list gmp-devel@gmplib.org http://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-devel
