IEEE floating-point standard

The long double type may or may not conform to the IEEE floating-point standard.

What does this sentence in the article mean? It serves to a purpose as is by letting the reader know there's some ambiguity regarding the standard but it is too vague to be very useful. Jason Quinn (talk) 14:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

It is a bit vague, the relevant point is that the C specification does not require IEEE compliance in its floating point types (but does permit it).Ewx (talk) 10:33, 8 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
