> If your code needs 34 bit ints ...
How did you get yourself into this jam?
Ints are only guaranteed to cover the range -32767 to +32767.
Not even long ints are guaranteed to have 34 bits of dynamic range.
I have written a lot of C code and NEVER have had any such
word length dependencies (other than in explicitly system-dependent
code that would not make sense to try to port anyway).
I would be interested in why your code has them.
