Re:Building Your Own Efficient uint128 in C++ on Monday February 02, 2026 @02:55PM (#46860512)
``` // this is the type used in the intrinsics signature // (and uint64_t is unsigned long, not unsigned long long...) using u64 = unsigned long long; ```

Can somebody explain to me why uint64_t (unsigned long according to the post) cannot be used here?
