Once a floating point value exceeds a certain magnitude, adding small
integers no longer has any effect. That said, lack of consistency in
the declaration and printing of 64-bit integers from compiler to
compiler will be a major pain. If you consider 53-some bits enough
(the number of bits in the mantissa in IEEE floating point), then you
can use the double type, which would be a lot easier.
