According to: https://developer.android.com/training/articles/perf-tips.html#avoidfloat there's no difference on modern hardware. (Note I didn't verify this.) Judging by a google search for "qreal" "float" "arm" this difference causes endless problems. I even found a Fedora build bug related to it. However it's a matter for upstream to fix it. Not something we could carry around only in Fedora IMHO. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
