#2686: Rename CCTK_REAL -> double when float is not tested

Reporter: Zach Etienne Status: new Milestone: Version: Type: enhancement Priority: minor Component:

Comment (by Zach Etienne):

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.

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 `double` , sinf(x) for `float` , and sinl(x) for `long double`.
