a6: Add int64 support #8

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What functionality is missing?
64-bit words operation.

Why is it so important to have it?
More efficient comparison of strings.
Allows for non-restricted length of Huffman codes.
Today's consumer CPU's are mostly 64-bit.

What are the implementation stages:
1. Introduce an abstraction of the comparison type.
2. Add a pre-processor directive.
3. Compare performance.
