C++'s floating point types (float and double) support
a finite amount of precision. If you want more, you'll
need to find or write code to do it. Google would probably
find some already written libraries. But I doubt anyone
has yet reached infinity. :)

Sometimes people mean "arbitrary" when they say "infinite".
