So this means that the suffixes L and l are the "longest" floating-point suffixes supported by the language and that the suffixes Q and q are non-portable language extensions. Is this right?
Correct.
So the only way to add Q or q suffixes would be to find a way to query the environment if it is supported. I wonder if GCC with --enable-libquadmath has a kind of query for this.
I haven't found one - gcc-4.7.2 has all sorts of __SIZEOF_XXX__ defines for every last type *except* __float128 and __float80 :-( John.
