Portable multiplication 64 x 64 -> 128 for int128 reimplementation
Hi,
For some maybe dumb reasons I try to write a portable version of int128.
What is very valuable for this implementation is access to MUL instruction
on x86 which provides full 64 x 64 -> 128 bit multiplication. An equally
useful on ARM would be UMULH instruction.
Well, the way you can access this on clang / GCC is to use __int128 type or
use inline assembly. MSVC provides an intrinsic for
