I have not been following the language standards recently. For any of the recent language standards, or the standards that are being worked on, will there be requirements for an IEEE 128-bit binary floating point type? For the C/C++ languages, is this type long double, or is another type being proprosed (such as __float128)?
C++ doesn't require any particular value representation for arithmetic types. But std::numeric_limits<long double>::is_iec559 will let you know whether it conforms or not.
