I don't mind one way or the other - there's not really much to choose 
between them - int64_t is POSIX, while long long is C99. So both are 
'standards'. They've both been available on Linux & Solaris for as long
as I can remember.

# info gcc
"5.8 Double-Word Integers
========================

ISO C99 supports data types for integers that are at least 64 bits wide,
and as an extension GCC supports them in C89 mode and in C++.  Simply
write `long long int' for a signed integer, or `unsigned long long int'
for an unsigned integer. "


# info inttypes.h
"If an implementation provides integer types with width 64 that meet these
 requirements, then the following types are required: int64_t uint64_t"


Rock, paper, scissors. C99 wins!

Regards,
Dan.
