[fpc-devel] Extended in Win64

[petr.kristan at epos.cz]

Hi.

Why on Win64 on AMD64 is Extended type 64bit same as double and on Win32, Linux32 and
Linux64 is 80bit. It breaks for example this construction:

procedure Swap(var X, Y: Double); overload;
procedure Swap(var X, Y: Extended); overload; 

(I know that extended type is defined as float with the best precision on the
given platform.)
