    @class wxLongLong
    @wxheader{longlong.h}

    This class represents a signed 64 bit long number. It is implemented using the
    native 64 bit type where available (machines with 64 bit longs or compilers
    which have (an analog of) @e long long type) and uses the emulation code in
    the other cases which ensures that it is the most efficient solution for
    working with 64 bit integers independently of the architecture.

    wxLongLong defines all usual arithmetic operations such as addition,
    subtraction, bitwise shifts and logical operations as well as multiplication
    and division (not yet for the machines without native @e long long). It
    also has operators for implicit construction from and conversion to the native
    @e long long type if it exists and @e long.

    You would usually use this type in exactly the same manner as any other
    (built-in) arithmetic type. Note that wxLongLong is a signed type, if you
    want unsigned values use wxULongLong which has exactly the same API as
    wxLongLong except when explicitly mentioned otherwise.

    If a native (i.e. supported directly by the compiler) 64 bit integer type was
    found to exist, @e wxLongLong_t macro will be defined to correspond to it.
    Also, in this case only, two additional macros will be defined:
    wxLongLongFmtSpec for printing 64 bit integers
    using the standard @c printf() function (but see also
    wxLongLong::ToString for a more portable solution) and
    wxLL for defining 64 bit integer compile-time constants.
