Subject: 128-bit integer I/O


hello @ all,

not very familiar with musl I'd see a thread about 128-bit integers
from ~2023-05. Among other it states:

> Nobody has been asking to be able to printf 128-bit numbers in
> decimal. They've been asking to be able to use 128- or even 256-bit
> integers in vector ops, crypto math, ipv6 routing, etc.

For me it's odd to have a datatype without adequate I/O, but I found
none qualified on the web, thus - tried to - roll(ed) my own.

intlib128: [ https://gitlab.gnome.org/newbie-02/libint128/-/tree/main ]

Questions:
- someone reading here who'd like to make a review on that project,
I'm not experienced but just learning about coding and publishing.

If musl doesn't have 128-bit integer I/O? or evtl. C23 only? would you
like to adopt / assimilate / improve that project?

best regards,



Bernhard
