[Python-Dev] LONG_LONG (Was: [Python-checkins] python/dist/src/Misc NEWS, 1.703, 1.704)

    Thomas> What is the recommended way to port code like this to Python
    Thomas> 2.3, and still remain compatible with 2.2?

    Thomas> #ifdef HAVE_LONG_LONG
    Thomas>             LONG_LONG q;
    Thomas> #endif

Wouldn't this work?

#ifdef HAVE_LONG_LONG
#    ifdef Py_LONG_LONG
         Py_LONG_LONG q;
#    else
         LONG_LONG q;
#    endif
#endif

As MarkH pointed out, this change is going to break some code, but there's
probably no way around it.  Obviously, some other package defines a
LONG_LONG macro or there wouldn't have been a bug report.  Better to bite
the bullet sooner than later.
