    float.h portability

    is there some standard header file that will define constants that will state the size of the different parts of floating-point numbers?

    in the documentation for VC++ it states that there is a header file float.h that has all the values, and I wanted to know if that file is also on, say, UNIX systems

    float.h and limits.h should be present in all ANSI-C implementations

    I would think the situation would be similar for C++
