Congratulations!!!!
I want to add 64-bit support to some of the *COMMON* files, starting with cmd_mem.c. The commands are followed with [.b, .w, .l] represents display option: 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit, accordingly. Will it be ok to change it to [.b, .s, .w, .l] for 8, 16, 32, and 64?
No, this is not acceptable, as it would break backwards compatibility.
If it is not acceptable what do you suggest? new cmd_mem64.c? other?
The BDI2000 telnet interface (which was one of my references for the "b" and "w" suffixes) uses "d" for "double" to access 64 bit objects. I think we should do the same and add ".d" [=> .b, .w, .l, .d].
