I need many of my integers to be integer*8 in my port to 64 bit.  In
C/C++ code, I can say 123456L to mean a long long value, generally 64
bit.  Is there a corresponding way to do this in Fortran ...

 
     integer(kind = 8), parameter :: bigval = 9223372036854775807_8
     print *, bigval
 
prints
 
     9223372036854775807

 
Thanks !
 
I was afraid of that.  I will have to put _8 in about 100,000 lines of
my F77 code.  And the future conversion to C++ will need special handling.
 

If you 100,000 lines of C++ without a trailing 'L', you would
need to add 'L' to get a long int.  You also only need to add
'_8' (or 'L') to those values that would exceed huge(1) in
magnitude as integer*4 is a proper subset of integer*8 and
Fortran does conversion when required.
