Sirs,
Does Free Pascal have any options for operating on numbers longer than
double-precision? If quad-precision is available, how can it be had? Can
one find-obtain-buy libraries that can extend this ability to the Pascal
language? Any info. you can post would be appreciated.
Once the softfpu unit ($fpcdir/rtl/inc/softfpu.pp) is finished this will
be possible. But AFAIK no one is currently working on that.
On x86 platforms you can also use the type "Extended" which is a 80-bit
floating point type (it maps to "Double" on other platforms).
Regards,
Sven
