I think these two are different things. For example, MSVC do support 'long double', it is a different type than 'double', but sizeof(long double) == sizeof(double). Also look at CPython's objimpl.h, union _gc_head, you will see an unprotected usage of 'long double', so it seems that CPython requires that the C compiler to support 'long double'. -- Lisandro Dalcin --------------- CIMEC (INTEC/CONICET-UNL) Predio CONICET-Santa Fe Colectora RN 168 Km 472, Paraje El Pozo Tel: +54-342-4511594 (ext 1011) Tel/Fax: +54-342-4511169 _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
