Preventing long longs in C backend

Hi all,

Is there any way to make the C backend not omit long longs for i64 values, on a 32 bit machine?
I’m thinking of either some frontend or some backend flag… any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Harel,

no.

There's a vague plan to rewrite the C backend more like an ordinary backend, so
it would run after the type legalizer. If that was done then it wouldn't be
hard to support this. But as far as I know no-one is working on the rewrite.

Ciao, Duncan.
