## Acknowledgements
With much help from Auston Sterling
Thanks to Stefan Deigmüller for finding
a bug in operator*.
Thanks to François Dessenne for convincing me
to do a general rewrite of this class.
Thanks to John Skaller for making symbols visible
when compiling as a shared library. This was originally
done in `uint256_t`, which I copied into here.
## Usage
This is simple implementation of an unsigned 128 bit
integer type in C++. It's meant to be used like a standard
`uintX_t`, except with a larger bit size than those provided
by C/C++.
### In Code
All that needs to be done in code is `#include "uint128_t.h"`
```c++
#include <iostream>
#include "uint128_t.h"
int main() {
uint128_t a = 1;
uint128_t b = 2;
std::cout << (a | b) << std::endl;
return 0;
}
```
### Compilation
A C++ compiler supporting at least C++11 is required.
Compilation can be done by directly including `uint128_t.cpp` in your compile command, e.g. `g++ -std=c++11 main.cpp uint128_t.cpp`, or other ways, such as linking the `uint128_t.o` file, or creating a library, and linking the library in.
