[Cast thy bread upon the waters...]

I am looking for prior art in the consistent implementation of the "long long"
data type.

In our compiler, we currently support the following types and sizes:

char - 8 bits
short - 16 bits
int - 32 bits
long - 32 bits

we want to add:

long long - 64 bits.

I am looking for companies that have already added "long long" to their
datatypes, and their solutions to:

- suffixes for constants
- format designator(s) for *printf and *scanf families

Any citation is interesting.  If you have opinions, objections, etc., mail to me
and I will summarize if there is sufficient interest.
