Pretty obviously. Gods know why though.

There is no support for u_128 yet, but I can consider it.
If you think about radix tries and other data structures (AVL) it would be useful to be able to code good x>y tests against the binary state of IPv6. If you have to segment into two u_64 then shift-and-mask stuff becomes harder. So, purely for IPv6 (and I work with internet addresses a lot so my bias is showing) I think this makes sense. But I totally get it may not be in your use case or first pass. Tiny home router…
Yes, I agree.

Ok, Now the title has been modified, maybe the previous title is not reasonable.

No, some simple comments from some of my colleagues and friends were identified as bot comments. I'm sorry.

So your colleagues all created accounts between forty and seventy minutes ago to make positive comments (except for one account that's existed for two years, but has only ever commented on this guy's stuff)?
Even if this is the case, that's arguably just as much of a voting ring as bots.

#27Congratulations on an absolutely massive achievement! I love seeing high-quality C libraries appear. What version of C does it target?

Their own account, only one.

The project has been around for 10 years and has almost 2500 stars on Github. The creator is Chinese but working in English as a courtesy and has used this body of code to create a number of fascinating projects, including an x86 emulator.
What have you given to the programming world lately?
