Recent compilers have support for 128 bit integers. They are referred to by 'int128' and 'unsigned int128'. I suggest the attached patch.

    While I agree that some compilers support this, I dont see this as being any official native datatype. Can you point me to something that shows it is a native official data type and not some stop gap type

    is_fundamental is reserved for fundamental data types. int128 isnt listed in http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/types as one of the fundamental types. I dont think it makes sense to add this patch based on this.

    Unfortunately there is no official standardization working in this direction afaik. Just thought that it would be neat, given the fact that gcc, clang and boost support it. So close it, as won't-fix, if you like to.
