May you should be able to create your own basic type. May should be a guide to do so.
GLib should have this types too, before you are able to create your basic types. This means you should define a GType for a basic type, in this case your long double. May we can create a library to define this math basic types, to be used in other libraries. This is not a GLib interest, I think, because is not a primary Math library. I was working a little in that, but may you should ask to gtk-list for help on defining this new types. In other ideas, is required to use that types or is possible to use some structs holding your information in a way to be used in other methods, that may take that structs an do calculations using that types internally, written in C with Vala bindings [1], then return again that structs. [] See git.gnome.org/browse/gxml it uses simple C methods and Vala bindings to be used in Vala code for xlibxml El may. 22, 2016 3:23 PM, "Vitaly V. Ch" <vitaly.v...@gmail.com> escribió: Hi All! Some time ago Vala has pulled my attention as a way to solve some kind of math problems. But some time later I realized that this cozy and beautiful staff does not have extended floating datatypes such as long double or float128_t. This fact disappointed me and I'm interested in some comments.
