| <p> |
| The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">float_least</span><span class="special">#</span><span class="identifier">_t</span></code>, with |
| # replaced by the width, designates a floating-point type with a <span class="bold"><strong>width of at least # bits</strong></span>, such that no floating-point |
| type with lesser size has at least the specified width. Thus, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float_least32_t</span></code> denotes the smallest floating-point |
| type with a width of at least 32 bits. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Minimum-width floating-point types are provided for all existing exact-width |
| floating-point types on a given platform. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| For example, if a platform supports <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float32_t</span></code> |
| and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float64_t</span></code>, then <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float_least32_t</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float_least64_t</span></code> |
| will also be supported, etc. |
