Recent changes to use __int128 as an integer-like type in <ranges> and
to optimize std::uniform_int_distribution mean that the library relies
on __int128 more heavily than in the past.

The library expects that if __int128 is supported then either
__GLIBCXX_TYPE_INT_N_0 is defined (and we treat is like the standard
integer types), or __STRICT_ANSI__ is defined (and we need to add
special handling for __int128 as a non-standard integer type).

If users compile with -std=c++NN -U__STRICT_ANSI__ then it puts the
library into a broken and inconsistent state, where the compiler doesn't
define the __GLIBCXX_TYPE_INT_N_0 macro, but the library thinks it
doesn't need special handling for __int128. What the user should do is
compile with -std=gnu++NN instead.

This adds a warning if it appears that __int128 is supported but neither
__GLIBCXX_TYPE_INT_N_0 nor __STRICT_ANSI__ is defined.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* include/bits/c++config: Warn if __STRICT_ANSI__ state is
	inconsistent with __GLIBCXX_TYPE_INT_N_0.

History
This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

The GNU Compiler Collection is free software.  See the files whose
names start with COPYING for copying permission.  The manuals, and
some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.

The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text.  The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi.  The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.

See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information.  An online readable
version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully.

Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range
notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range,
inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed
individually.
