hi Rubyists,

i need int 64 conversions functions, but i cannot find them in
Array#pack. Do i need to write them myself, write a patch for pack.c or
anything else?

thanks in advance!

Ruby 1.8 has ‘Q’ (64bit unsigned) and ‘q’ (64bit signed) templates.

Cool! :slight_smile: If not using 1.8, http://www.ruby-talk.com/51134 might be
useful…
