Comment (by johnmaddock):

 This is supported.... but only in C++11 compliant compilers (ie not VC++
 I'm afraid at present).  See:
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/multiprecision/doc/html/boost_multiprecision/tut/lits.html


 When supported though, the integer is compile-time constructed from the
 data with no runtime overhead at all.

 Otherwise I'd strongly recommend you use the "construct from hexadecimal
 string" method, as that runtime code is well optimized (I hope!).
