It has to work that way, because they're different, standard language-level types. One thing to realize about these flags is that they're ABI-altering flags. If the user provides the flag to alter the platform defaults, this only works if the user also ensures that matches the ABI of the relevant system libraries that the compiler is using (e.g., because the user is explicitly linking with a suitable libc). > This is a backend -m flag, after all, so that seems reasonable to me. > >> What will this do if the user calls a library function that expects a long >> double?
