112 //
113 // BitReproducible can be used with floats by doing the equivalent of
114 // float x = x0; BitReproducible::dto2longs (x, i, j);
115 // float y = BitReproducible::longs2double (i, j);
116 // The results are correct.
117 // The only inefficiency is that two integers are used where one would suffice.
118 //
119 // The same artifice will compile for long double. However, any value of the
120 // long double which is not precisely representable as a double will not
121 // give exact results for the read-back.
122 //
123 // We intend in the near future to create a templated version of this class
124 // which cures both the above flaws. (In the case of long double, this is
125 // contingent upon finding some IEEE standard for the bits in a 128-bit double.)
