You can do that already, using the PRId64 macro from <inttypes.h>.

    int64_t max = INT64_MAX;
    printf("INT64_MAX = %" PRId64 "\n", max);

Or if you don't like those macros (I'm not a huge fan of them myself),
convert to long long:

    printf("INT64_MAX = %lld\n", (long long)max);

If you want to use "%lld", why aren't you declaring your objects as long
long in the first place?
