Is it broken? In that case I can take a look at it. >C99 says that floats are implemented according to >IEEE when the hardware uses it, Where do you think it says that? The only part of C99 which mentions IEEE is Annex F (and G, covering complex numbers), which describes how floating point should behave in an implementation which defines __STDC_IEC_559__. An implementation not defining this preprocessor symbol is not covered by said annex, and can chose any floating point representation, regardless of hardware support.
