Do you mean there is no float96 on windows 32 bit as I described at the beginning of the thread? > I did some tests a few weeks ago, and discovered that also > on the Mac and Linux long long double is not really 128 bits. > If I remember correctly it was 80 bits: 1 (sign) + 16 (exp) + 63 (mantissa) Yes, that's right, on Intel for linux and OSX longdouble is 80 bit precision.
