Re: babel C, C++, D enhancement

Thanks Achim for finding and fixing this bug.

I do agree about fuzziness between int and float.
My Emacs considers
  2305843009213693951 as an integer,
  2305843009213693952 too large to be an integer.
My C++ compiler sees
  4294967295 as an integer,
  4294967296 as too large to fit an int.

So Babel C++ may cause problem for large integers.
I am not sure how we can fix this in any case.
In the meantime, we can force large values to be declared as doubles by
adding dot zero
like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC C++ :var large=9876543210 .0
printf ("%g", large);
#+END_SRC
