is there a particular reason to handle only __int128 this way, and not all

avoid a special case.

I have no objection to doing it for all of them, it just wasn't
necessary to solve the immediate problem that the library now uses
__int128 even when integral<__int128> is false. (Hmm, or is size_t  an
alias for __int20 on one arch, which would mean we do use it?)

Oh I remember why I didn't do that now. I did actually want to do it
that way initially.

The macros like __GLIBCXX_TYPE_INT_N_0 are not defined in strict mode,
so we have no generic way to name those types.

IIRC, those macros were introduced specifically to help libstdc++. If libstdc++ wants them defined in different circumstances, it should be fine to change the condition from "!flag_iso || int_n_data[i].bitsize == POINTER_SIZE" to whatever you need.

But now I understand why you did this, thanks.
