2
3 This class represents a signed 64 bit long number. It is implemented using the
4 native 64 bit type where available (machines with 64 bit longs or compilers
5 which have (an analog of) {\it long long} type) and uses the emulation code in
6 the other cases which ensures that it is the most efficient solution for
7 working with 64 bit integers independently of the architecture.
8
9 wxLongLong defines all usual arithmetic operations such as addition,
10 substraction, bitwise shifts and logical operations as well as multiplication
11 and division (not yet for the machines without native {\it long long}). It
12 also has operators for implicit construction from and conversion to the native
13 {\it long long} type if it exists and {\it long}.
14
15 You would usually use this type in exactly the same manner as any other
16 (built-in) arithmetic type.
