Hugs uses single precision by default because the implementation using double precision relies on a hack whose behavior is not assured in any way by the C language in which it is implemented.
I found this in src/unix/configure.in: (all commented out) dnl Disabled for now because the plugin-code can't handle the change. dnl If you're not using plugins, you could turn this on manually dnl by setting "USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION" in options.h.in (before running dnl the configure script). dnl AC_ARG_ENABLE(double-precision, [ --enable-double-precision use double precision arithmetic], AC_DEFINE(USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION)) Could you clarify if this is the `hack' you were referring to? (And are there any more? I can live with it if this is the only disadvantage in enabling double precision support ...)
