<p>
      The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">floatmax_t</span></code>
      designates a floating-point type capable of representing any value of any floating-point
      type in a given platform most precisely.
    </p>
<p>
      The greatest-width <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span></code> is
      provided for all platforms, but, of course, the size may vary.
    </p>
<p>
      To provide floating-point <span class="bold"><strong>constants</strong></span> most precisely
      representable for a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">floatmax_t</span></code>
      type, use the macro <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_FLOATMAX_C</span></code>.
    </p>
<p>
      For example, replace a constant <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">123.4567890123456789012345678901234567890</span></code>
      with

</pre>
<p>
      If, for example, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">floatmax_t</span></code>
      is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float64_t</span></code> then the result
      will be equivalent to a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">long</span> <span class="keyword">double</span></code> suffixed with L, but if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">floatmax_t</span></code> is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float128_t</span></code>
      then the result will be equivalent to a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">quad</span>
      <span class="identifier">type</span></code> suffixed with Q (assuming, of
      course, that <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float128_t</span></code> (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">__float128</span></code> or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Quad</span></code>)
      is supported).
