10 @class wxLongLong
11 @wxheader{longlong.h}
12
13 This class represents a signed 64 bit long number. It is implemented using the
14 native 64 bit type where available (machines with 64 bit longs or compilers
15 which have (an analog of) @e long long type) and uses the emulation code in
16 the other cases which ensures that it is the most efficient solution for
17 working with 64 bit integers independently of the architecture.
18
19 wxLongLong defines all usual arithmetic operations such as addition,
20 subtraction, bitwise shifts and logical operations as well as multiplication
21 and division (not yet for the machines without native @e long long). It
22 also has operators for implicit construction from and conversion to the native
23 @e long long type if it exists and @e long.
24
25 You would usually use this type in exactly the same manner as any other
26 (built-in) arithmetic type. Note that wxLongLong is a signed type, if you
27 want unsigned values use wxULongLong which has exactly the same API as
28 wxLongLong except when explicitly mentioned otherwise.
29
30 If a native (i.e. supported directly by the compiler) 64 bit integer type was
31 found to exist, @e wxLongLong_t macro will be defined to correspond to it.
32 Also, in this case only, two additional macros will be defined:
33 wxLongLongFmtSpec for printing 64 bit integers
34 using the standard @c printf() function (but see also
35 wxLongLong::ToString for a more portable solution) and
36 wxLL for defining 64 bit integer compile-time constants.
