RE: GCC Decimal128 class

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-13.2.0/libstdc++/api/a10385.html
should be the latest. I thought there is a std::string/char* constructor.

Hi Jonathan,

Yes, I can compile now. Come to Decimal128 document, I got this page https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.1/libstdc++/api/a00702.html : https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.1/libstdc++/api/a00702.html.

Is there a latest update?

Warm Regards.
Ming
