Yes: this is what allows you to use dtype to parse complex binary files directly in numpy without having to care so much about those details. And that's how it is defined on windows in any case (C standard only forces you to have sizeof(long double) >= sizeof(double)). > Has anyone got a windows64 > box to check float128 ? > Too lazy to check on my vm, but I am pretty sure it is 16 bytes on windows 64.
