I'd propose to take a little plunge and change LONGINT to 64 bit<br>
and bootstrap V4 on 64 bit operating system(s).<br>
<br>
Apart from modifying the compiler to 64 bit, the source code changes<br>
to the whole [Linz] V4 package are minimal as the port to AOS<br>
(Alpha Oberon System) for 64 bit Alpha OpenVMS in the mid<br>
1990s showed. Most Elems and apps, etc. could be compiled and ran<br>
without any source code changes. Only very few modules<br>
required source code changes.<br>
This port left no 32 bit restrictions.*<br>
<br>
See<br>
<a href="http://www.modulaware.com/mdlt/mdlt81.htm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.modulaware.com/mdlt/mdlt81.htm</a><br>
<a href="http://www.modulaware.com/mdlt73.htm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.modulaware.com/mdlt73.htm</a><br>
<br>
The Alpha processor is history since about 20 years (due to the sales of DEC<br>
to Compaq to HP and finally to Intel for the Alpha processor. Intel burried<br>
the Alpha in a drawer to push Itanium.)<br>
<br>
But to give an impression of the number and kind of changes needed for a 64 bit port of V4,<br>
attached is an edited output of<br>
<br>
$ grep -a -e "_32" -e "ADDRESS32" -e "INTEGER32" -e "INT32" -- *.mod* >diff64bit.lis<br>
<br>
for the V4 modules. (The "-a" is needed to also get 'about' readable grep-results<br>
for those source files which are in oberon text format.)<br>
<br>
Another challenge would be the 64 port of FPGA Oberon.<br>
<br>
cheers!<br>
<br>

implementation restriction of OpenVMS Alpha 7.1<br>
