Seems that the length of type double is 32bit, so it's more or less a synonyme for float. Am I right?

Hm. Could work-around for now. And it's within (C90-) spec, indeed.
Although,this is not a bug, a 64bit floating-point type would be "nice to
have" in the future.

Yes; float, double, and long double are all the same data type in mspgcc.
If this is a problem, let me know, but chances are it's not going to
change.

No intention of supporting 64-bit floating point calculations on a 16-bit microcontroller.
