It probably should, but those kinds of things don't just magically = appear out of thin air: Somebody(TM) has to do the actual work to implement the support, test it, maintain it, and so on. Apparently there has not yet been any great need for this floating point precision. Are you volunteering? :) -Dimitry P.S.: I believe one of the first requirements is a <quadmath.h> header. --Apple-Mail=_D8F96939-0B14-4509-BACD-2E6C94BD62B7 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.2 iF0EARECAB0WIQR6tGLSzjX8bUI5T82wXqMKLiCWowUCXOpkOgAKCRCwXqMKLiCW o1hXAJwO6EeBoALAyO7monTPzU0jSJ5iPwCffFDr7hKsxd7GUC5W8ulNaXjoZC4= =NiLV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_D8F96939-0B14-4509-BACD-2E6C94BD62B7--
