It is LPGL so perfectly usable with in the compiler.
I see now. However libquadmath is quite slow to be really useful. Double float is around 20x slower than native double, float128 would be around 100x slower. -- Regards, Denis Golovan _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
