[Oberon] V4, 64 bit version; was: Re: Starting V4. (Hellwig Geisse)

I like the idea.

The sizes of datatypes in the RISC5 compiler are defined in ORB.Mod.
Currently we have:

  byteType := type(Byte, Int, 1);    (*symbol: BYTE *)
  boolType := type(Bool, Bool, 1);   (*symbol: BOOLEAN *)
  charType := type(Char, Char,1);    (*symbol: CHAR *)
  intType := type(Int, Int, 4);      (*symbols: INTEGER, LONGINT *)
  realType := type(Real, Real, 4);   (*symbol: REAL *)
  setType := type(Set, Set,4);       (*symbol: SET *)
  nilType := type(NilTyp, NilTyp, 4);(*symbol: NIL *)


In a 64-bit compiler derived from the RISC5 compiler I imagine we would
also have 8 byte REALs and SETs and NIL values:

  byteType := type(Byte, Int, 1);        (*symbol: BYTE *)
  boolType := type(Bool, Bool, 1);       (*symbol: BOOLEAN *)
  charType := type(Char, Char,1);        (*symbol: CHAR *)
  intType := type(Int, Int, 4);          (*symbol: INTEGER *)
  longType := type(Long, Long, 8);       (*symbol: LONGINT *)
  realType := type(Real, Real, 8);       (*symbol: REAL *)
  setType := type(Set, Set,8);           (*symbol: SET *)
  nilType := type(NilTyp, NilTyp, 8);    (*symbol: NIL *)
