AW: [avr-gcc-list] LIBRARY

[Stumpf Michael]

Hello,

you must have got something wrong : avr-gcc uses IEEE

IEEE: SEEEEEEE EMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM

format with full accuracy. That means no bits lost until rounding is done.
Why do you think avr-gcc uses a differing format?

regards
Michael Stumpf
