x86 ABI prefers things to be aligned, so on x86 it's 12 bytes,
x86_64 16 bytes. In both cases you don't get any extra
precision over the 80-bits that x87 gives you.
This is exactly what I mean. The ABI may pad it, but

Why is real.sizeof == 16 on x86-systems?!?
Its the IEEE 754 extended format: 64bit mantissa + 15bit
exponent + sign.
It should be size 10!
I mean, alignment may be different, but why wasting so much
memory even in arrays?
