Let us now note that the new, portable, 90's way of printing something
cast to a 64-bit value is
printf("foo = %lld\n", (long long)foo);
This works in the kernel (4.0 now) and userland, so it would be the
proper way. Is there anyone who is specifically checking for long long
C9X-compliancy in the source tree (mainly libc)?
Anyway, it's not an issue what the size of a long/int is, for printing
a 64-bit value. That was my point, I'm sure of it!
