Quadmath.jl

This is a Julia interface to libquadmath, providing a Float128 type corresponding to the IEEE754 binary128 floating point format.

Support

Quadmath currently works on x86_64 Linux, macOS, and Windows.

• It may require a new-ish version of gcc which supports __float128 type.
• It has not been tested on 32 bit Linux.
• It does not work on (32-bit) ARM due to the lack of libquadmath support for that platform.

Installation

Quadmath.jl is now a registered package, so can be added via ]add Quadmath.
