+?S: This variable conditionally defines the USE_IEEE754_FLOAT symbol,
+?S: which indicates to the C program that floats and doubles use the
+?S: IEEE-754 format.
+?S:.
+?S:ieee754_byteorder:
+?S: This variable holds the IEEE float byte order. In the following, larger
+?S: digits indicate more significance. The variable byteorder is either 4321
+?S: on a big-endian machine, or 1234 on a little-endian one.
+?S: cannot figure it out.
+?S:.
+?C:USE_IEEE754_FLOAT:
+?C: When defined, this symbol indicates that float and double values are
+?C: stored using the IEEE-754 floating point format. See IEEE754_BYTEORDER
+?C: to determine the endianness in case these values need to be serialized.
+?C:.
+?C:IEEE754_BYTEORDER:
+?C: This symbol holds the hexadecimal constant defined in ieee754_byteorder,
+?C: i.e. 1234 for little-endian or 4321 for big-ending floats. It is 0 when
+?C: floats are not stored in IEEE-754 format.
