[about adding float128]
> I realize a new float type would be a major undertaking
That's an understatement and a half. The only way this could ever be viable is if float128 support becomes widespread enough that we don't have to write our own algorithms for basic float128 operations; even then, it would still be a massive undertaking. MPFR provides these operations, but it's LGPL.
I don't see this happening in the forseeable future. |
