Create Double-Width Integers with Ease
import Int2X
typealias U128 = UInt2X<UInt64> // Yes. That's it!
typealias I128 = Int2X<UInt64> // ditto for signed integers
Thanks to SE-0104, making your own integer types is easier than ever. This module makes use of it -- creating double-width integer from any given FixedWidthInteger.
U?Int{128,256,512,1024} are predefined as follows:
public typealias UInt128 = UInt2X<UInt64>
public typealias UInt256 = UInt2X<UInt128>
public typealias UInt512 = UInt2X<UInt256>
public typealias UInt1024 = UInt2X<UInt512>
public typealias Int128 = Int2X<UInt64>
public typealias Int256 = Int2X<UInt128>
public typealias Int512 = Int2X<UInt256>
public typealias Int1024 = Int2X<UInt512>
As you see, UInt2X
and Int2X
themselves are FixedWidthInteger so you can stack them up.

Add the following to the dependencies
section:
.package(
url: "https://github.com/dankogai/swift-int2x.git", .branch("main")
)
and the following to the .target
argument:
.target(
name: "YourSwiftyPackage",
dependencies: ["Int2X"])
Now all you have to do is:
import Int2X
in your code. Enjoy!
Swift 5 or better, OS X or Linux to build.
