1052.0. "sizeof( long double )" by SIOG::BATEMAN (We are all DECservers) Mon May 26 1997 09:13

    The Alpha porting guide indicates that a long double is 10 bytes on x86
    and 8 bytes on Alpha (all other data types identical). However if I try
    sizeof(long double) on x86 the result is 8 bytes.
    Is this reference in the Alpha porting guide an indication of the
    internal floating point registers in the x86?
    
    Thanks,
    Alan
