Hi,
while investigating some problems with a unit test for the rewritten
byte order functions (details see
https://opensg.vrsource.org/trac/ticket/22), I found some interesting
things wrt Real128.
First of all on my linux box sizeof(Real128) == sizeof(long double) ==
12 (not 16 as the name suggests). And the current byte order function
osghtondd (which I copied) happily swaps the position of 16 bytes, so I
guess this code was not too heavily stressed ;)
Do we actually need Real128 (a grep over svn trunk shows they are used
nowhere outside the base dir) ? Or maybe we should rename them to Real96 ?
Thanks,
Carsten
