Once the release is out the door and things settle down a bit (both in Hugs and in my personal life), I'd like to cleanup the Hugs' internals which have gotten quite confused by layer upon layer of backward compatability code. Practical benefits I hope for are:
- Make Float mean 'C float' and Double mean 'C double'. Most of the code is actually in Hugs already but it was disabled because of some long-irrelevant issue involving the foreign function interface.
Does this mean that we can safely enable USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION now? If so, I think we should do it for this release. Obviously the best thing would be Float = float, Double = double, but I think most people would prefer Float = Double = double to Float = Double = float.
