SDL_NOLONGLONG(3)

💖 SDL_NOLONGLONG 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_NOLONGLONG(3) page, part of the SDL3 FUNCTIONS crew ✨ this one's short but she's important, so let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_NOLONGLONG — don't let SDL use "long long" C types. no cap. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h>

#define SDL_NOLONGLONG 1

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, bestie ☕ SDL will define this little guy if it believes your compiler doesn't understand the "long long" syntax for C datatypes. literally it's giving old-compiler energy — this can happen on older compilers. 🙈

but say it's your compiler that doesn't support "long long" and SDL doesn't know it? no stress 💖 it is safe to define this yourself to build against the SDL headers. you're valid, do your thing. 👑

now, if this is defined, heads up: it will remove access to some C runtime support functions, like SDL_ulltoa and SDL_strtoll that refer to this datatype explicitly. 😭 the rest of SDL will still be available tho, so it's not a total loss. 🦋

💀 important warning, don't skip this one: SDL's own source code cannot be built with a compiler that has this defined, for various technical reasons. so like, don't try it. fr fr. 🚫

and that's the whole vibe, bestie! 🌈 this icon came to you from Simple Directmedia Layer, version SDL 3.4.18, and honestly? she ate. 💅✨ mwah, go forth and compile responsibly 🎀💖🫶
