GCC + -Wpedantic throws warning about __int128

[fzi-haxel]

If the platform supports __int128, GCC throws the following warning if the -Wpedantic flag is set.

types.h:100:18: warning: ISO C does not support ‘__int128’ types [-Wpedantic]
  100 | typedef unsigned __int128 uECC_dword_t;

Here are three ways to avoid the GCC warning

1. Use the __attribute__((mode(TI))) (similar to mbedtls)

typedef unsigned int uECC_dword_t __attribute__((mode(TI)));

2. Use __extension__ GCC Documentation

__extension__ typedef unsigned __int128 uECC_dword_t;

3. Just ignore -Wpedantic at this line

#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wpedantic"
typedef unsigned __int128 uECC_dword_t;
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
