I was wondering whether clang's new amazing custom size (things like 13-bit int, or 70-bit int, etc.) will get added to gcc.
No most likely, it won't. That is because clang
uses llvm
as its compiling backend, and gcc
doesn't. The llvm
backend is what allows clang
to pull off that feat. LLVM allows from 1
to 16,777,215
bit ints.
