Hi,
https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Arbitrary-Precision-Integers.html
It sounds like gawk does not enable arbitrary-precision integer
arithmetic by default. But the following example shows the opposite.
awk -e 'BEGIN{ x = 1; for(i=1;i<1000;++i) { x = x * 2; print x} }'
Do I misunderstand the manual? When does awk use int32, int64 or
int128 for an integer?
