clang supports arbitrary length ints using the _ExtInt extension. This can be useful to hold very large values, e.g. 256 bit or 512 bit types.
Larger types (e.g. 1024 bits) are possible but I am unaware of a use case for these.
This requires the _ExtInt extension enabled in clang, which is under review.
