Discussed previously here:

Int64_t vs juce::int64

JUCE has provided many cross-platform C++ utilities, among them juce::int64, but nowadays it seems that C++ has had a standard int64_t for a while now. Mostly the two are interchangeable, but it seems that in Linux Makefile based builds, juce::int64 is typedef to long long, while int64_t is typedef to long. Both are 64-bit but when one overrides JUCE methods one has to use the juce::int64 specifically. The problem is that if one usually develops in Xcode and Visual Studio and has a preference …

tl;dr this would be a breaking change with few benefits to justify the cost.
