MLPutInteger64()

int MLPutInteger64(MLINK link, mlint64 i)
puts the 64-bit integer i to the MathLink connection specified by link.
  • You can send arbitrary-precision integers to Mathematica by giving lists of digits, then converting them to numbers using FromDigits.
  • MLPutInteger64() returns 0 in the event of an error, and a nonzero value if the function succeeds.
  • Use MLError() to retrieve the error code if MLPutInteger64() fails.
  • MLPutInteger64() is declared in the MathLink header file mathlink.h.

    /* this is a 32-bit compiler, mlint64 is a struct */
    a.hi = 65536;
    a.low = 65535;

    if(! MLPutInteger64(lp, a))
