Hi,
If I code:
float a = 1.0;
double b = 1.9;
is there a way I can view the bit structure of a and b ?
Does anyone have a link to an explanation of the way bits are assigned
to floats and doubles (with gcc) ?
Cheers,
Rob

An offlist reply led me to:
http://www.psc.edu/general/software/packages/ieee/ieee.html
which covers it pretty well.
