further clarification if possible:

why the 2 lines that don't compile:

// float128 e1 = exp(1.Q); // Note argument to exp is type float128. // std::cout << e1 << std::endl; // 2.71828182845904523536028747135266231

if i put them in the following code compile regularly?

You're mixing up 2 different things:

* If you want to use __float128 "as if" it were no different to float/double etc, then include boost/math/cstdfloat.hpp

* If you want a 128-bit floating point type which hides the underlying implementation then use boost/multiprecision/float128.hpp.

Note that these are completely different approaches to the same problem, and are completely different types.

Also note that strictly speaking, boost/math/cstdfloat.hpp is NOT C++ conformant, as it adds function overloads directly to namespace std.
