Subject: [Rd] Why no .Machine$sizeof.double?
Message-ID: <dj3503$7us$1@sea.gmane.org>

Whis is there a .Machine$sizeof.longdouble but no .Machine$sizeof.double?

(.Machine$double.digits + .Machine$double.exponent) / 8
could be used for .Machine$sizeof.double, I guess, but why define the
structure of doubles in bits, and all other sizeof's in bytes (e.g.,
.Machine$size.long)?
