On page 4 of the HAL Manual V2.6.0-pre4, 2014-06-12 a float is defined as 64
bits (i.e which I refer to as a double in my programming), which I take to be
the case within a HAL context.
However, on page 44 of the same Manual, it is defined as 32 bits (i.e typically
a float).
Which is correct? Or am I missing something.
P.S. I am a newbie working systematically through the documentation, and notice
bugs/errata here and there, where I can usually work out what is correct from
the context. However, they are spelling/grammar/tech bugs nevertheless.
According to the Getting Started manual, in connection with Mesa Configuration
Wizard bugs, I should report them to the mail-list. While not wanting to
clutter up this list with less important corrections, I still take pride in the
user-driven quality of Linux and my newly-found LinuxCNC gold-mine. Is there a
better place to report documentation errata? Having been in academia in the
past, I recognise how easily errors can slip into tech documentation, but also
appreciate the time it takes to weed them out. So I personally appreciate
someone who has noticed something to bring it to my attention. However, if I
highlight documentation errata, I run the risk of sounding
pedantic/pernickety/a pain in the ..... if I do so. I would appreciate some
guidance as to the approach of this list - or a pointer to a better errata
depository.
