Chris@19 60 You can install single and long-double precision versions of FFTW,
Chris@19 61 which replace <code>double</code> with <code>float</code> and <code>long double</code>,
Chris@19 62 respectively (see <a href="Installation-and-Customization.html#Installation-and-Customization">Installation and Customization</a>). To use these
Chris@19 63 interfaces, you:
Chris@19 64
Chris@19 65 <ul>
Chris@19 66 <li>Link to the single/long-double libraries; on Unix, <code>-lfftw3f</code> or
Chris@19 67 <code>-lfftw3l</code> instead of (or in addition to) <code>-lfftw3</code>. (You
Chris@19 68 can link to the different-precision libraries simultaneously.)
Chris@19 69
Chris@19 70 <li>Include the <em>same</em> <code>&lt;fftw3.h&gt;</code> header file.
Chris@19 71
Chris@19 72 <li>Replace all lowercase instances of &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">fftw_</span></samp>&rsquo; with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">fftwf_</span></samp>&rsquo; or
Chris@19 73 &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">fftwl_</span></samp>&rsquo; for single or long-double precision, respectively.
Chris@19 74 (<code>fftw_complex</code> becomes <code>fftwf_complex</code>, <code>fftw_execute</code>
Chris@19 75 becomes <code>fftwf_execute</code>, etcetera.)
Chris@19 76
Chris@19 77 <li>Uppercase names, i.e. names beginning with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">FFTW_</span></samp>&rsquo;, remain the
Chris@19 78 same.
Chris@19 79
Chris@19 80 <li>Replace <code>double</code> with <code>float</code> or <code>long double</code> for
Chris@19 81 subroutine parameters.
Chris@19 82
Chris@19 83 </ul>
Chris@19 84
Chris@19 85 <p>Depending upon your compiler and/or hardware, <code>long double</code> may not
Chris@19 86 be any more precise than <code>double</code> (or may not be supported at all,
Chris@19 87 although it is standard in C99).
Chris@19 88 <a name="index-C99-144"></a>
Chris@19 89
Chris@19 90 <p>We also support using the nonstandard <code>__float128</code>
Chris@19 91 quadruple-precision type provided by recent versions of <code>gcc</code> on
Chris@19 92 32- and 64-bit x86 hardware (see <a href="Installation-and-Customization.html#Installation-and-Customization">Installation and Customization</a>).
Chris@19 93 To use this type, link with <code>-lfftw3q -lquadmath -lm</code> (the
Chris@19 94 <code>libquadmath</code> library provided by <code>gcc</code> is needed for
Chris@19 95 quadruple-precision trigonometric functions) and use &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">fftwq_</span></samp>&rsquo;
Chris@19 96 identifiers.
