Re: Fw: GCC - 64bit long long type, support in lib

["fred" <fred at 5thfinger dot com>]

sorry if I confused readers.

the source gcc downloaded I have is gcc-3.4.4
it seems the library is part of the gcc with cygwin.
and the library I'm referring to is in the libiberty  sub-directory.
a config.h file does get generated (configured) in that directory.

The "newlib" you are referring to, I don't see anything referred to as
"newlib" in the cygwin setup???

I understand that 64bit int is not a native word size (for windows & cygwin
I guess - this is not windows 64 bit version)
and comprises of 2 x 32bit ints.

if you do sizeof(long long) you will get 8 for gcc(cygwin)

so I would think when code does a call with a long long arguument, 2 x 32bit
ints get pushed on the stack,

however because _doprint is then only reading off 32bit longs for such a
arg,  the position of the args get
incorrect............
