Comment (by marshall):

 Replying to [comment:22 johnmaddock]:
 > I'm not against the patch as proposed.  However, what happens when the
 CUDA guys update their compiler to support GCC-4.7.x and add support for
 {{{__int128}}} ?  Can we make the #undef conditional on the CUDA version?

 "Always in motion is the future"

 Certainly we can add something like "if GCC < 4.7" to the #ifdef, but what
 if the 4.7 version of nvcc ''still doesn't'' support` __int128`. Then we'd
 have to rev anyway.

 John - do you have knowledge that the CUDA guys are planning this?
