Does that mean we are now in double precision? like in Katja's benchmark: http://www.katjaas.nl/doubleprecision/doubleprecision.html
Are we still limited by 32 bits pointers to address table? (I dont remember the exact value, I think it was 2^24) that would be reaaaaally nice to manage easily big tables (not so big when you use sounds) n -- http://nimon.org _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
