<p>Comment (by Zach Etienne):</p>
<p>Roland pointed out during today’s call that the compile flag REAL_PRECISION can be set to 4, 8, or 16 bytes. It’s likely this directly sets CCTK_REAL.</p>
<p>Also if we would truly like a say, physics thorn, to be cross-compatible with different CCTK_REAL aliases, we’d probably also need aliases for transcendental functions so that e.g., CCTK_SIN(x) would alias to sin(x) for <code>double</code> , sinf(x) for <code>float</code> , and sinl(x) for <code>long double</code>.</p>
