warning: use of C99 long long integer constant

[Philip Potter]

It is a distributed development environment, and I don't wanna make
everyone to change his settings...

You have two "proper" solutions:

1) Change the distributed development environment. It's broken if you
expect it to be able to handle long long.
2) Change your code to be C90 (ie no "long long"). If you need an
integer bigger than 2**32-1, implement your own bignum library.

I don't know how to change the source to avoid your warnings but still
use long long. Even if there were, it would be a hacky solution. The
whole point of -ansi -pedantic is that it isn't supposed to allow such
things.

That's the largest integer you can /portably/ use in C90.

Nit: With the minor corrections:
"The largest integer you can use in C90 (or C89) is ULONG_MAX, which is
only guaranteed to be at least 4294967295, the largest value representable
in 32 bits."

Martin's statement appears to be correct.

The settings you're currently using are wrong for the code you're
compiling. If you don't have a mechanism for correcting such errors,
you've got a serious problem.

Whoops! I read his article as "the largest integer you can use is
14294967295" and completely missed the intermediate words in the sentence.
