I don't know what to do for all compilers >(IE 123ULL or (BITBOARD) 123) I don't know of a portable way to do this either. My Rush Hour (www.puzzles.com) software has "#if defined"s like crazy for all of the annoying cases, e.g. /* MSVC 6.0 */ typedef unsigned __int64 bitboard; const bitboard outside_edge = 0xFF818181818181FF; /* SGI MIPSpro 7.2.1 (with -64 switch) */ typedef unsigned long bitboard; const bitboard outside_edge = 0xFF818181818181FF; /* g++ 2.7.2 */ typedef unsigned long long bitboard; const bitboard outside_edge = 0xFF818181818181FFll; Of the three, I like SGI's setup the best.
