#2793: CLDouble is nothing like a long double
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------

Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Os: Unknown/Multiple
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
This affects all versions of GHC. Why does the type exist when it is just
a synonym for CDouble? Either it should actually become a `long double'
as the documentation says or it should just not exist. From
Foreign/C/Types.hs:
{{{
-- HACK: Currently no long double in the FFI, so we simply re-use double
-- | Haskell type representing the C @long double@ type.
FLOATING_TYPE(CLDouble,tyConCLDouble,"CLDouble",HTYPE_DOUBLE)
}}}
