Do you know of C implementations that have real floating types other
than the langauge's float, double, and long double ones? If so, answers
to any or all of these would be most appreciated:
What are the type names?
What suffixes (or other scheme) are used for library functions (like
sin_, strto_)?
What conversion specifiers are used for printf and scanf?
How many exponent and significand bits are in the representations? 1's
bit implicit or explicit?
Any other interesting characteristics?
