Hi,
I'm documenting the system data types in the man-pages,
and I was writing now about these types.
I'm showing below both the rendered output and the source I have right now.
Would you add anything to it?
And I have some questions:
Is 'signed __int128' a valid thing,
and if so is it completely equivalent to '__int128'?
Is the GCC version correct?
There's no implementation where 'long long' is 128 bits yet, right?
Thanks,
Alex
Rendered output:
[[
__int128
A signed integer type of a fixed width of exactly 128 bits.
According to GNU, it is supported only for targets which have an
integer mode wide enough to hold 128 bits.
Bugs: It is not possible to express an integer constant of type
__int128 in implementations where long long is less than 128
bits wide.
Conforming to: GCC 4.6.0 and later.
Notes: This type is available without including any header.
See also the intmax_t, intN_t and unsigned __int128 types in
this page.

unsigned __int128
An unsigned integer type of a fixed width of exactly 128 bits.
According to GNU, it is supported only for targets which have an
integer mode wide enough to hold 128 bits.
Bugs: It is not possible to express an integer constant of type
unsigned __int128 in implementations where unsigned long long is
less than 128 bits wide.
Conforming to: GCC 4.6.0 and later.
Notes: This type is available without including any header.
