OVR_Alg.h -> "Integer Constant is too large for 'long' type"

I'm getting the following compile error when building a project that includes the oculus SDK headers:

Integer constant is too large for 'long' type in ../LibOVR/Include/../Src/Kernel/OVR_Alg.h line 812.

I'm getting that error when building with GCC on Mac OSX with 32bit target. I don't get it when targeting 64bit, and I don't get it when targeting 32bit compiling with clang. So it is an error specific to using GCC with 32bit target.

Any ideas?

    The solution is to mark the constant literals as unsigned long long by suffixing them with ULL:

    inline UInt64 SwapOrder(UInt64 v)
    {
    return (v>>56) |
    ((v&UInt64(0x00FF000000000000ULL))>>40) |
    ((v&UInt64(0x0000FF0000000000ULL))>>24) |
    ((v&UInt64(0x000000FF00000000ULL))>>8) |
    ((v&UInt64(0x00000000FF000000ULL))<<8) |
    ((v&UInt64(0x0000000000FF0000ULL))<<24) |
    ((v&UInt64(0x000000000000FF00ULL))<<40) |
    (v<<56);
    }

    how to notify them so this patch gets into the next SDK, so no one else gets this error in the future?

    GCC is a bit more pedantic than some compilers on this. Good catch! Fixed.
