Hi!

How is the 64bit support implemented? Is an integer 63 bits or 31 bits?

Currently, there is no support for 64bit integers ala the GNU C style long long int.

However, you can use atoms to store values that would otherwise only fit in a 64bit int. The value is converted into floating point double format. (This isn't perfect, I believe there are some 64bit values that won't fit in an atom.)
