Details

The bigint multiplication algorithm needs to multiply register-sized digits into double-register values. This is done most efficiently if the platform has some support for double-register values (e.g. int128 on 64-bit platforms). This bug is a reminder to revisit MSVC builds to verify/implement a fast path there. See https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D10046#inline-66585.
Priority: -- → P3

Bug 1512504 removes MSVC support, so probably we don't have to do anything here.
