Yes, that is correct. What I explained is that it does not matter much since 80 bit precision is legacy anyway.

It does matter much, because FPC will use 80-bit precision on platforms that support it. So if you compile a program for e.g.i386 or x86_64 excluding Win64 then the compiler will make use of Extended for floating point code and thus it needs to be handled correctly and consistently which a compiler compiled for x86_64-win64 or any platform not supporting 80-bit floating point (e.g. aarch64) does not.

Hi
I haven't had a 32bit machine in over 8 years!!!
Everything is 64 bit.
Regards Benny

Win32 or 32machine is more more good for debug-error/s,
--when you need hunted the error/s inside multiple sources.
Many times, you need hunt the bugs  the source.pas.
