								<p>You can install single and long-double precision versions of FFTW,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								which replace <code>double</code> with <code>float</code> and <code>long double</code>,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								respectively (see <a href="Installation-and-Customization.html">Installation and Customization</a>).  To use these
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								interfaces, you:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<ul>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li> Link to the single/long-double libraries; on Unix, <code>-lfftw3f</code> or
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>-lfftw3l</code> instead of (or in addition to) <code>-lfftw3</code>.  (You
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								can link to the different-precision libraries simultaneously.)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</li><li> Include the <em>same</em> <code><fftw3.h></code> header file.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</li><li> Replace all lowercase instances of ‘<samp>fftw_</samp>’ with ‘<samp>fftwf_</samp>’ or
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								‘<samp>fftwl_</samp>’ for single or long-double precision, respectively.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								(<code>fftw_complex</code> becomes <code>fftwf_complex</code>, <code>fftw_execute</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								becomes <code>fftwf_execute</code>, etcetera.)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</li><li> Uppercase names, i.e. names beginning with ‘<samp>FFTW_</samp>’, remain the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								same.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</li><li> Replace <code>double</code> with <code>float</code> or <code>long double</code> for
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								subroutine parameters.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</li></ul>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>Depending upon your compiler and/or hardware, <code>long double</code> may not
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								be any more precise than <code>double</code> (or may not be supported at all,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								although it is standard in C99).

							 |

							 |

| 
								 | 
							
								<p>We also support using the nonstandard <code>__float128</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								quadruple-precision type provided by recent versions of <code>gcc</code> on
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								32- and 64-bit x86 hardware (see <a href="Installation-and-Customization.html">Installation and Customization</a>).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								To use this type, link with <code>-lfftw3q -lquadmath -lm</code> (the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>libquadmath</code> library provided by <code>gcc</code> is needed for
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								quadruple-precision trigonometric functions) and use ‘<samp>fftwq_</samp>’
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								identifiers.
