The intention is that “integer” and “int” are synonyms for “long or bigint”. However, if internally an int is one thing and to userland it’s another, that would be problematic. If this goes through, I’d probably make my bigints patch rename IS_INT to something new again, probably IS_SMALLINT or even back to IS_LONG. wouldn't the following work for you? * IS_INT * IS_BIGINT * IS_INT_OR_BIGINT After all, SQL has INT(EGER) and BIGINT, albeit with different meanings. In fact "bigint" itself to me and possibly many other developers means a 64bit int, not a GMP int. Cheers -- Matteo Beccati Development & Consulting - http://www.beccati.com/
