Hi, on small microcontroller without hardware FP it usually does not make sense to use double or long double. Most of the programs do not use any floating point operations, because it needs much more code, RAM and CPU time. That's also the reason why C99 features like complex numbers (with complex inf and NAN) are usually not available for microcontroller.
