Support for 64-bit

[tleasure]

Are there any plans to support 64-bit? It looks like CRoaring has support. https://github.com/RoaringBitmap/CRoaring/pull/75

I think this is blocked by https://github.com/RoaringBitmap/CRoaring/issues/1

If I understand correctly, CRoaring supports 64-bit integers in C++ but only 32-bit integers in C.

Maybe @lemire can comment on that

Ah, I see. Thanks for the reply

Nope. Please see...

(It is true that we have independent C++ 64-bit roaring bitmaps... but there is a pure C version too.)

Awesome, thanks

Hello! Do you have any plans to add support for 64bit in the near future?

Hey,

Unfortunately, I currently don't have a lot of bandwidth to add this feature, as it is more complex than other issues requested by other users. I'd be happy to review and test a PR if anyone wants to submit one.

Closed with #116

Thanks
