And also the _Float32x, _Float64x types (we don't have any targets supporting _Float128x). (On all systems supporting those types in GCC, _Float32x has the same format as double and _Float64, and _Float64x has the same format as either long double or _Float128, but again they are different types.) -- Joseph S.
