I believe that formatting types e/E, f/F and g/G will all handle float, double 
and long double without casts.

Example CELEBF30 available in the Runtime Library Reference under:

Library Functions
fprintf(), printf() and sprint() - Format and write data

Shows a float printed with g and G specifiers with no cast.

Can you cast to (double)?
