            Bug ID: 31515
           Summary: printf: format needed for __uint128_t
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: stdio
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: newbie-02 at gmx dot de
  Target Milestone: ---

if I checked correctly,  
glibc / gcc support __uint128_t as variable with 128 bits,  
and *can* calculate with it, but not print.  
print is needed, not only for applications and users but esp.  
for debugging in the coding process. It's cumbersome, time  
consuming and error prone if 'nopro's like me have to build  
homebrew routines ever and ever again, IMHO a compiler / library  
providing a datatype should also provide a qualified method to  
check it.  

Don't bother to tell me if I'm wrong, that's always an option.

See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113887 for discussion of all
the things that should be done together in GCC and glibc to provide proper
support for int128_t / uint128_t, now that C23 allows such types to be provided
without needing to enlarge intmax_t.

(In reply to Joseph Myers from comment #1)  

thanks for the hint, nice to see it's under work, it's above my horizon  
to enter that discussion, but I wish you success for a consistent solution.  

Suggest to close this bug and mention as seealso in your discussion.

think have to retract 'can calculate', seems limited to lower 64 bits :-( ??
