size of floats and doubles in C5000?

SteveG49822

Are both floats and doubles under C5000 both the same size and only 32bits?

Try this:

int x = sizeof( double );

when run, x == 2.

TIA

Yes. Also long double. (See Section 5.3 of TMS320C55x Optimizing C/C++ Compiler User's Guide (SPRU281)).

The C language standard does not dictate the sizes to be used for floating-point types or even that they be different.
