On all "supported" architectures, yes. gcc supports long long everywhere, using a library if hardware support is not feasible. Visual C++ supports __int64 on all targets. Other compilers typically strive for compatibility with either of these two.

On all "supported" architectures, yes. gcc supports long long
everywhere, using a library if hardware support is not feasible.
Visual C++ supports __int64 on all targets. Other compilers typically
strive for compatibility with either of these two.
