For reasons now lost to history, Puzzles generally uses single-precision floating point. However, C floating-point constants are by default double-precision, and if they're then operated on along with a single-precision variable the value of the variable gets promoted to double precision, then the operation gets done, and then often the result gets converted back to single precision again. This is obviously silly, so I've used Clang's "-Wdouble-promotion" to find instances of this and mark the constants as single-precision as well. This is a bit awkward for PI, which ends up with a cast. Maybe there should be a PIF, or maybe PI should just be single-precision. This doesn't eliminate all warnings from -Wdouble-promotion. Some of the others might merit fixing but adding explicit casts to double just to shut the compiler up would be going too far, I feel.
This is the README accompanying the source code to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. The collection's web site is at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/>. The puzzle collection is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in the source directory: cmake . cmake --build . The manual is provided in Windows Help format for the Windows build; in text format for anyone who needs it; and in HTML for the Mac OS X application and for the web site. It is generated from a Halibut source file (puzzles.but), which is the preferred form for modification. To generate the manual in other formats, rebuild it, or learn about Halibut, visit the Halibut website at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
