...ers had to be the same size. That is not something we could contemplate for R, as vast numbers of packages assume that R's integers map to C int (tested to be 32-bit) and Fortran 32-bit INTEGER. > > Cheers, > Simon > > >> On Jan 25, 2025, at 11:08 PM, Tony Wilkes <tony_a_wilkes at outlook.com> wrote: >> >> Hi everyone, >> >> I heard somewhere that Core R is developing the implementation of true 64bit integers. >> Is this true?

...things) would have any benefit. Typically, the only use-case for full 64-bit integers is as opaque 64-bit storage (e.g., randomly generated IDs) but there arithmetics make no sense there and packages are already covering that need.

Hi everyone, I heard somewhere that Core R is developing the implementation of true 64bit integers. Is this true? If so, may I know what the status is of this development, and when, approximately, one can expect 64bit integers to be available in R? Thank you for your time!
