In that case D should probably start to have an internal conversation about what they're going to call 128 bits then, 'cause its going to become a thing sooner or later.
stdint already has that covered though: (u)int128_t
- gallier2 3y agoit has defined the type for very long: it's cent and ucent. It hasn't implemented it completely though, but named and defined it is already forever.
- fps_doug 3y agoSo will the 256bit one be dollar or euro?
- WalterBright 3y agoWe'll think of something. Perhaps `bright`?
- another2another 3y agoThat's really interesting, and for me a totally unexpected name, having never seen that nomenclature before - would be interesting to see how consensus around that was arrived at - but hey, we gotta call it something! (But not DoubleQuadWord please ... )
