long doubles

Name: Anonymous 2011-08-13 11:42



int main(void)

{

    long double test = 1;

    test <<= 1E1L;

    return 0;

}



test@test:~/test$ gcc -ansi -pedantic -Wall -O0 -o test test.c

test.c: In function ‘main’:

test.c:35:7: error: invalid operands to binary << (have ‘long double’ and ‘long double’)

So there is no way I can bit-shift the damn long double's?

Ha ha! I thought of this.



union loldouble {

    struct{

        unsigned long int a;

        unsigned long int b;

    } c;

    long double d;

} l_dbl;

l_dbl.c.a = 12;

l_dbl.c.b = 13;



printf("the long double value is: %LG\n",l_dbl.d);

Now I can use the damn bit-shifts.
