Dev-C++下关于float/double类型的实验

kingwei 2005.3.11

实验环境: Dev-C++ 4.9.6.0 (gcc/mingw32), 使用-Wall编译选项

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
float v_float;
double v_double;
long double v_long_double;

printf("sizeof(float) = %u/n", sizeof(float));
printf("sizeof(double) = %u/n", sizeof(double));
printf("sizeof(long double) = %u/n", sizeof(long double));

/* -3.40282e+038 ~ +3.40282e+038 */
scanf("%f", &v_float);
printf("%f/n", v_float);
printf("%e/n", v_float);
/* -1.79769e+308 ~ +1.79769e+308 */
scanf("%lf", &v_double);
printf("%f/n", v_double);
printf("%e/n", v_double);

/* -1.79769e+308 ~ +1.79769e+308 */
scanf("%Lf", &v_long_double);
printf("%Lf/n", v_long_double);
printf("%Le/n", v_long_double);
return 0;
}

1. float,double,long double长度分别为:
sizeof(float) = 4
sizeof(double) = 8
sizeof(long double) = 12

2. 数值范围测试
float +/- 3.40282e+038
double +/- 1.79769e+308
long double +/- 1.79769e+308

----- Test case #1 正向极值-----

可见,虽然long double比double长4个字节,但是表示的数值范围却是一样的.
long double类型的长度,精度及表示范围与所使用的编译器,操作系统等有关.
VC++6.0下使用IEEE标准浮点数,long double为80位长度, 范围约为 +/- 1.2e+4932,
printf格式符为: %lf, %le, %lg. (未验证)

3. 浮点参数压栈的规则: float(4 字节)类型扩展成double(8 字节)入栈.
所以在输入时,需要区分float(%f)与double(%lf),而在输出时,用%f即可,
printf函数将按照double型的规则对压入堆栈的float(已扩展成double)和double型数据进行输出.
如果在输出时指定%lf格式符,gcc编译器将给出一个警告.

4. gcc编译器可以选择float的长度,是否与double一致.
