Re: reliably test integer size for portable bit-fiddling?

I think so. Perhaps, it is also an option for you to ask perl itself with the help of core module Config?

 perl -e 'use Config; print $Config{use64bitint} eq "define" ? "yes, "
+ : "not ", "64bit perl\n"'
[download]

Result (here):

yes, 64bit perl

For that kind of inquiry, perl has extended use for the `-V` option, supporting regular expressions et all: `$ perl -V:'use64bit(int\|all)\|[iu]vsize' ivsize='8'; use64bitall='define'; use64bitint='define'; uvsize='8';` [download] Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l] [select]
