Rust is getting ready for 128-bit integers and floats. Of course Fortran has had it for decades. :-) As for bit addressable memory, definitely a big issue on microcontrollers (at least 20 years ago, I do not know now) but not so much an issue for Big Computation. -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
