In terms of memory addresses?
This is another interesting piece: having just read over much of
lib/libm/noieee_src/ for my previous message, I note that it seems to
assume that doubles are 64 bits long; it also seems to have scattered
throughout the assumption that the VAX and the Tahoe are the only
non-IEEE machines. (This really should be tested once in mathimpl.h
and a define created for the rest of the code to use....)
