I think how the #CCompilers work with types is rather confusing, especially #FloatingPoints .
there are so many different floating point types and we get to select from
- 'float'
- 'double'
- 'long double'
and none of them are garanteed to be the same sizes across all the C compilers and not to mention there are 128bit floating point numbers that you can't even use because there is no type for that.
at least for integers there are (u)int<s>_t types but even those aren't defined by the compiler. -
🚀 Behold the CJIT: a 2MB miracle that aspires to be the Swiss Army knife of C compilers, but ends up being the spork nobody asked for. 🤡 It bravely promises to deploy "instantly" across platforms, assuming your idea of instant includes deciphering a cryptic tutorial reminiscent of an IKEA assembly guide. 📎
