Integer Fundamental Type Precisions #147

Open DarkArc opened 6 months ago

DarkArc commented 6 months ago

I'm curious why the IFC specifies default, short, and long, but not long long for fundamental type precision?

The IFC writes out:

long long = int w/ 64-bit precision
long = int w/ long precision
int = int w/ default precision

This seems like an odd discrepancy (some builtin types represented via bitwidth and some are represented via a label)?
