--- Comment #3 from Samuel GOUGEON <sgougeon at free.fr> ---
int64 and uint64 integer types are now available in Scilab 6.
After comment #1: i do not agree with the need of a single precision in Scilab. Providing natively such a type just "to test the sensitivity of
precision for a given set of functions" is poorly relevant while very expansive. Designing an external module downgrading the double to single
precision could be done instead.

(In reply to Sylvestre LEDRU from comment #2)
> an arbitrary precision library is available here:  http://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/MPScilab
