Subject: PyGC_Head:  Use "long double" instead of "double" as the worst-case
X-Git-Tag: v2.3c1~6609
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5e67cded409218e4957c0921cd6b0dca7ba63317;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

PyGC_Head:  Use "long double" instead of "double" as the worst-case
alignment gimmick.  David Abrahams notes that the standard "long double"
actually requires stricter alignment than "double" on some Tru64 box.
On my box and yours <wink>, it's the same, so no harm done on most
boxes.
