Re: [cdt-dev] Addr64 from long

[Alena Laskavaia <elaskavaia.cdt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, so it is not really related, this is about not using BigInteger, not about API to construct the object, which is what I am adding. If people are using long for addresses it
means they already aware of long limitations as a type. I.e. in our case our addresses are 63 bits, so extra bit is not an issue.

And the bug is Bug ID 403404.

I participated in the thread and suggested some code faster than BigInteger. But Thomas reviewed the code and I agreed with him. It was not ready for prime time. I believe the code was posted on the list.

I think it was on a bug. If no one remembers, I have no problem with it.

I added an API to construct Addr64 from long, Doug mentions that where was some discussions about it long time ago that it is not good idea. I cannot find any discussion about it in archives.

I am not sure why it could be possible bad any-how?
