For powerpc64 and sparc architectures that both have __float128 and 128bit long double, the __float128 is same type as long double/__iee128 and already formattable.
Remaining specializaiton make __float128 formattable on x86_64 via _Float128, however __float128 is now not formattable on x86_32 (-m32) with -mlong-double-128, where __float128 is distinct type from long double that is 128bit IEEE. PR libstdc++/119246 libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: * include/std/format (formatter<__float128, _Char_T): Define if _GLIBCXX_FORMAT_F128 == 2. --- This patch avoids dealing with cases when long double is 128bit and thus __float128 may be same as long double (it is same for powerpc and will be for sparc), but distinct for x86_32/-mlong-double-128. This preserve support formatting __float128 on x84_64, where it is formatted using _Float128. Tested on x86_64, powerpc64. For format test checked both -mabi=ibmlongdouble,-mabi=ieeelongdouble. Rainer Orth confirmed that this also work with his patch adding __float128 for sparc.
