#### Synopsis

    type
      LongestInt = LongInt;  { might get bigger than LongInt someday }

#### Description

`LongestInt` is GPC's longest-possible signed integer type. Currently, this is the same as LongInt. On most platforms it is 64 bits wide and thus has a range of `-9223372036854775808..9223372036854775807`.

There are lots of other integer types in GPC, see Integer Types.

#### Conforming to

`LongestInt` is a GNU Pascal extension.

#### Example

    program LongestIntDemo;
    var
      a: LongestInt;
    begin
      a := 42;

    end.
