Ok, thanks for the clarification, IOhannes's message was a bit cryptic for
me !

Let me quote IOhannes' email from yesterday


IOhannes wrote:
"64bit in this case means "sizeof(void*)==8" - that is: 64bit pointers.

this is orthogonal to "double precision" Pd, which uses (64bit) double
as t_float."

So, no, that doesn't automatically mean double-precision Pd.
