In C it will almost certainly be int128_t, when standardized. 128 bit support is currently a compiler extension (found in GCC, Clang and others). A type that provides a 128 bit integer exactly should have 128 in its name. That is not the argument at all. The problem is only having types like that, and stipulating nonsense like that the primary "go to" integer type is int32.
