/*`To make float128 available it is vital to get the dialect and options on the command line correct.
Quad type is forbidden by all the strict C++ standards, so using or adding -std=c++11 and later standards will prevent its use.
so explicitly use -std=gnu++11, 1y, 14, 17, or 1z or ...
For GCC 6.1.1, for example, the default is if no C++ language dialect options are given, is -std=gnu++14.
