No, "type flottant" is incorrect because complex numbers are also floating types (and are forbidden here). C99 has the following definitions: * There are three /real floating types/, designated as float, double, and long double. * There are three /complex types/, designated as float _Complex, double _Complex, and long double _Complex. * The real floating and complex types are collectively called the /floating types/. * The type char, the signed and unsigned integer types, and the enumerated types are collectively called /integer types/. * The integer and real floating types are collectively called /real types/. * Integer and floating types are collectively called /arithmetic types/. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
