[RFC][PATCH 04/12] types: Introduce [us]128

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Introduce [us]128 (when available). Unlike [us]64, ensure they are
always naturally aligned.

This also enables 128bit wide atomics (which require natural
alignment) such as cmpxchg128().
