depending on how long before doubles are implemented in PB, you could write a preprocessor that would translate a pb program that's using double precision math into inline asm functions and then compile the translated program.

I went to

http://www.flatassembler.net

for pure fun (got to love that word ) to see if they did any OpenGL programming and I found converted header-files for OGL. In that header file (gl.inc) they declared datatypes like this:

So, if one use inline asm. that should be possible right? And therefore you should be able to use commands like glOrtho() in OGL that require double.
Just a thought...

Well, we have already the datatype double defined

with the F64 lib or another DoubleLib.

when all of us move to 64-bit platforms, will double be 128-bits?
