Clang has __int128. Is there anyway to use this with D with LDC?

Not really as a plain type, although there is effort to get [u]cent working. I could have sworn that mir was using InlineIR with it for multiplication. But InlineIR is the only way to get at it.

What operation do you need on it?

There has been some work on this a while ago, by Kai, but it hasn't been merged yet: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/1355

I'm looking to use it to store the coefficient in my precise decimal type when you need more than 9 significant digits.

I might just end up translating Boost's multiprecision lib to D if ucent is impossible.

Thanks
