April 12, 2005 Minor: wording regarding "real" type | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|

The GDC home page says: "The 80-bit real type is not supported on Mac OS X and is replaced by the 64-bit double type." This is something of a redundancy, since the size of the real type in D is not a fixed number but the "largest hardware implemented floating point size" I have suggested re-introducing "extended" as the name of the 80-bit floating point type that the X86 processor family has, and "quadruple" for 128-bit... Thus, the entry should read something like: "The 80-bit extended type is not supported on Mac OS X and real is represented by the 64-bit double type." But I think that Walter has removed the failing unittest with the "%A" format now, from recent versions of DMD. --anders |
