To have it defined is one thing. To actually implement i128 and i256 is quite another thing. Are you willing to actually do all of the work necessary to implement the unboxed i128 code?
Dream away!
John Meacham also told me that even if I get there, it wouldn't do what I want (use it to support complex numbers). Can you tell me what are the issues involved? From my naive view, something like CDComplex (mapping to C double _Complex) wouldn't be different than what's done for other basic types. Why am I wrong? Thanks, Maurício
