Hi Derick,
It would be a significant performance degradation :)
Just imagine how to implement 64-bit multiplication and division on 32-bit
CPU.
My own query was probably more to do with maintaining 32bit results where there is interaction with 32bit only systems. But perhaps the question should rather be 'Just what will be returned as 64bit where it currently is maintained as 32bit?' I was under the impression I got 32bit integers even on 64bit installations and had to use another method to return the 64bit values core to Firebird's generator system.
Thanks. Dmitry.

Of course, we are not going to drop 32-bit support :)
This patch affects only PHP on 64-bit systems.
Really? I thought it would also make PHP's int type 64-bit even on
32-bit platforms.
