uint128
go get lukechampine.com/uint128
uint128 provides a high-performance Uint128 type that supports standard arithmetic
operations. Unlike math/big, operations on Uint128 values always produce new values
instead of modifying a pointer receiver. A Uint128 value is therefore immutable, just
like uint64 and friends.
The name uint128.Uint128 stutters, so I recommend either using a "dot import"
or aliasing uint128.Uint128 to give it a project-specific name. Embedding the type
is not recommended, because methods will still return uint128.Uint128; this means that,
if you want to extend the type with new methods, your best bet is probably to copy the
source code wholesale and rename the identifier. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Benchmarks
Addition, multiplication, and subtraction are on par with their native 64-bit
equivalents. Division is slower: ~20x slower when dividing a Uint128 by a
uint64, and ~100x slower when dividing by a Uint128. However, division is
still faster than with big.Int (for the same operands), especially when
dividing by a uint64.
