StackOverflow when using DecFP on 32-bit Linux

[omus]

On Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit:

julia> using DecFP
ERROR: LoadError: StackOverflowError:
while loading /home/omus/.julia/v0.5/DecFP/src/DecFP.jl, in expression starting on line 72

That's odd, it works on 32-bit Windows, and as far as I can tell we never use Int or UInt, only IntXX and UIntXX.

Can you try deleting lines from DecFP.jl until the error goes away?

I can get past the loop on line 72 if I comment out this section and this section

[stevengj]

Weird... makes me think it is a Julia bug. Maybe try to do the opposite: construct a minimal test case that exhibits the problem. (For example, does it occur just for w==128?)

Not sure if it's exactly the same issue, but on Julia 1.4.2 32-bit linux, I'm seeing:

julia> using DecFP

Should be fixed now by #91.

I can also confirm that #91 fixes the stack overflow issue on Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit using Julia 1.6
