Conversion between float & double does not produce "rounding errors", it loses precision and range. Don't mix'n'match on a whim. Hiding behind opaque data types - It obscures intent and if you insist on using _t suffix, it will lead to namespace pollution/conflicts. See Stroustrup, Torvalds, & Stallman for further details. What mechanisms are in place to prevent a user from unloading any/all modules while a system is live & running ? Can firmware be uploaded on the fly on a live system ? What critical system variables can altered on a live system, and will it lead to a crash ?
