Re: [Exip-develop] Regarding 'Decimal' data type

[Rumen K. <kju...@gm...>]

Hi Durgaprasad,

This is a known issue. The _Decimal64 type is a fixed point decimal number
defined as a GNU extention so I would guess you are not using gcc for
compilation. This will be fixed in the next release. A temporary fix that
you can do is to put the following line:
#define EXIP_DECIMAL float

in build/gcc/pc/exipConfig.h

It does not fix the problem with the decimals but at least compiles.

Regards,
Rumen
