<p class="MsoNormal">I am one of the authors of the C++ proposal P1467 “Extended floating-point types”, which has similar goals to the _Float<i>N</i> work that CFP is doing, in that it adds additional optional floating-point types to the standard. The next
revision of the proposal is available, <a href="https://isocpp.org/files/papers/P1467R4.html">
https://isocpp.org/files/papers/P1467R4.html</a> (and also attached to this message). I welcome any feedback that CFP might have, especially about the “C Compatibility” section,
<a href="https://isocpp.org/files/papers/P1467R4.html#c-compat">https://isocpp.org/files/papers/P1467R4.html#c-compat</a> . Am I representing the C proposal correctly? Are there other incompatibilities between the C and C++ proposals that I am not seeing?
The C++ Committee would like to do a better job than we have in the recent past of keeping C and C++ from diverging unnecessarily, so we are soliciting feedback from the C community while C++ proposals are still under development when there is overlap between
C and C++.<o:p></o:p></p>
