I have experimented with the quadmath library included with gcc and the boost::math::constants library and encountered several problems. - typeid is seemingly not supported for __float128, which requires an overload of nameof<__float128> - the stream extraction operator has to be provided for __float128 for string conversion to work - a specialisation of numeric_limits has to be provided. Is there an interest in incorporating __float128 into boost ? If so, would it be a good idea to specialise constants for __float128 as well, apart from float, double and long double? Regards Claas
