I want to use uint256_t in my EOS smart contract but I am getting following error
unknown type name 'uint256_t'; did you mean 'uint16_t'?
I thought EOS supports uint256_t as I read it in some EOS documentation. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find that piece of documentation again!
This Reddit link also says the uint256_t is supported! Did I miss something?
According to the documentation, you can use the uint256_t type, for instance, as secondary index of a multi index table. Here you can find an example (is commented).
uint256_t is not provided in eos, you may use boost::multiprecision to get a typedef for uint256_t
The ethereum virtual machine on EOSIO allows up to 1024 bit precision for integers and can be directly used in your smart contracts with not so much bloat: https://github.com/jafri/eosio.evm/tree/master/eosio.evm/external/intx
uint256_tis not actually defined in eosio. if you want a third party library for this see this
