Re: Regarding The Library And Variable Usage.
I get it, after reading the PPC Instruction Set Reference Manual, the PPC's Floating Point Registers are 64 bit registers. In other words, if I were to use single precision floating points, then the processor has to shove that to one 32 bit side of the register and fill the rest with 0's. I get it, that takes more effort than just shoving a double in there. The single precisions are always converted to doubles anyway.
Reading the technical manuals really do help...
So there was a method to their madness...

An explanation of the reasoning behind design decisions will almost always result in a more thorough understanding of the solution than analysis alone can obtain. - Travis Covington [more]
