What's the opinion here on decimal floating point (_Decimal32/64/128)? I'm guessing there's a significant amount of business software using double for monetary amounts out there that could benefit this being standardized. I think it has been in gcc for over a decade as an extension though...
- sigsev_251 3y agoThe extension was the reference implementation of the TS. As for its uses, IBM was the main organisation to push for this (they implemented DFP extension on gcc too) so I guess their customers (most probably on the mainframe business) have a need for it.
