#4: add floating point type -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sabetts | Owner: ffjeld Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: compiler | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: numbers -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Changes (by ffjeld): * priority: major => minor * keywords: => numbers Comment: Personally I am unsure about the value of floats, particluarly so long as they would have to be boxed (i.e. not be immediates). I won't stop anyone else from implementing floats, but as of now I am unlikely to do it . However I see this as another good reason for going 64-bit, where immediate floats would be feasible. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.common-lisp.net/movitz/ticket/4> movitz <http://common-lisp.net/project/movitz> movitz
