surprised #user upgrading curl from an 8 years old version to a modern one: what? it requires 64bit integer types now?

So yeah, those users are still out there.

Imagine the craziness, a software in 2025 that REQUIRES a 64 bit integer type. The boldness.

And you thought #curl was conservative! 🤠

ooh, it was like 10 years ago I last made something for a compiler without 64-bit ints 😅 (or, it did have an INT64 type but it was a struct 🙃)

16-bit integers ought to be enough for anybody

In that user's defence, 8 years isn't a very long time. Things just happen so damn rapidly in the software universe...

Give BLAS a few more decades and the mess regarding ilp64 versions might be cleared up.

Curl is a trailblazer!
