[ast-developers] 128bit integer support via typeset -i?

[Tina Harriott]

Will ksh93 someday support 128bit integers? Modern compilers like gcc

4.4 have int128_t support on all platforms so this might be easy. Or

not?

I suspect that it will. It also might support decimal arithmetic.
However this will not be in ksh93v.
