.SH NAME
float_t, double_t \- most efficient floating types
.SH LIBRARY
Math library
.RI ( libm )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <math.h>
.P
.BR typedef " /* ... */ " float_t;
.BR typedef " /* ... */ " double_t;
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The implementation's most efficient floating types at least as wide as
.I float
and
.I double
respectively.
Their type depends on the value of the macro
.B FLT_EVAL_METHOD
(defined in
.IR <float.h> ):
.P
.TS
lB rI rI.
FLT_EVAL_METHOD float_t double_t
.T&
n rI rI.
_
0 float double
1 double double
2 long double long double
.TE
.P
For other values of
.BR FLT_EVAL_METHOD ,
the types of
.I float_t
and
.I double_t
are implementation-defined.
.SH STANDARDS
C11, POSIX.1-2008.
