I'd propose to take a little plunge and change LONGINT to 64 bit
and bootstrap V4 on 64 bit operating system(s).
Apart from modifying the compiler to 64 bit, the source code changes
to the whole [Linz] V4 package are minimal as the port to AOS
(Alpha Oberon System) for 64 bit Alpha OpenVMS in the mid
1990s showed. Most Elems and apps, etc. could be compiled and ran
without any source code changes. Only very few modules
required source code changes.
This port left no 32 bit restrictions.*
See
http://www.modulaware.com/mdlt/mdlt81.htm
http://www.modulaware.com/mdlt73.htm
The Alpha processor is history since about 20 years (due to the sales of DEC
to Compaq to HP and finally to Intel for the Alpha processor. Intel burried
the Alpha in a drawer to push Itanium.)
But to give an impression of the number and kind of changes needed for a 64 bit port of V4,
attached is an edited output of
$ grep -a -e "_32" -e "ADDRESS32" -e "INTEGER32" -e "INT32" -- *.mod* >diff64bit.lis
for the V4 modules. (The "-a" is needed to also get 'about' readable grep-results
for those source files which are in oberon text format.)
Another challenge would be the 64 port of FPGA Oberon.
cheers!
*) Apart from the main- and coroutine-*stack*, which is due to an
implementation restriction of OpenVMS Alpha 7.1
