Hi list, I would like to propose the addition of format codes for pack() and unpack() to work with 64 bit integers. Pierre suggested I create an RFC for this. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/pack_unpack_64bit_formats The RFC proposes both perl-compatible, and perl-incompatible codes, however I think they all make sense for PHP. Please review and discuss the proposed changes and see how you feel about them, Thanks, Leigh. P.S @andrea your comments from the original thread are addressed in the RFC.

Dear list, If there are no outstanding issues in one weeks time (2014-09-26) then this RFC will go to vote, requiring a 50%+1 majority to pass. Cheers, Leigh.
