Is there any reasonable way pass a single-precision float to a function taking a variable number of arguments? The standard says something to the effect of: "In the absence of a function prototype, floats will be widened to double." I guess I am willing to stipulate that ",..." is equivalent to "in the absence of a prototype." Still, it seems a shame that the float gets widened (by no means a cheap operation) only to have me force it back to float in the first line of the function. I suppose I could do something ugly with a union, or something like that...

Pass its address. This is rather ugly, but completely portable. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
