No, it's a typo made when converting from using the old, reliable, LONG_LONG_MAX (basically worked on every platform except perhaps BSD, and used to be the default but is now the fallback mechanism) to the newer c99 standard (which works on most modern platforms and is now the default, but used to be the fallback mechanism). > LONG_LONG_MAX is a GNUism, and will break anywhere except GNU platforms (and > HP-UX, which, I think, is where GNU copied it from). I know you are a BSD person, but the reality is that GNUstep is GNU software and uses the GNU compiler (GCC) ... so saying something 'will break anywhere except GNU platforms' is actually pretty close to saying that it will break anywhere that GNUstep doesn't run, and sounds perilously like a religious argument. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
