i would post the patch as a PR. 'float' is more like 'int' (32bit), so it's good to have a small data type with less precision and not always rely on 'double' or (64bit long). as a rule of thumb on the "double vs float" topic: - the compiler *should* SSE-optimize a range of floats more easily - in terms of speed and the x87, it shouldn't matter that much - floats take less space in memory lubomir -- _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
