https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2030&uid=swg21245006 says: GCC versions 4.0 and higher support 128-bit quad precision floating point values. The XL compilers now provide the -qfloat=gcclongdouble option to be compatible with GCC's representation of 128-bit quad precision floating point values. Anyone knows how to enable it? By default, I just get the double-double representation (yielding 106-bit precision). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@xxxxxxxxxx> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
