We should prefer the standard syntax (%lld) over nonstandard ways. There could just as well be platforms that accept %I64d but warn about it (as being nonstandard). If that doesn't work for a specific platform, either adjust the test so that it checks for warnings, or just manually override the result in pg_config_os.h. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
