Hi,

I'm working on soft IOC that will need to deal with 64-bit numbers. Our

Linux based instrument supports reading and writing 64 signed and

unsigned values, both as scalars and as arrays.

Looking at menuFtype, there is no support for 64-bits. I would like to

see "long long" and "unsigned long long" support in the menuFtype.

Are there any plans on adding support for 64-bit types to menuFtype (for

3.14.x branch)?

Are there any workarounds for this issue?

I guess this change would affect basic EPICS type handling code - not

record, driver or device support code.

Best regards,
Hinko
