I disagree, it is correct as written. There may be ports outside the GCC tree where you can write a 128-bit constant (there may even be some in the tree, I don't know). > My personal lament is that i still cannot find out anywhere if it is available on all 64-bit platforms or on intel only. It's not Intel only, it works fine on powerpc64le, for example.
