Appendix: GAT Primitive Types

The full dictionary of standard GAT primitive types

GAT Primitive Type	GAT Primitive Type Description
GATBool	Boolean with values `GATFalse` or `GATTrue`
GATint8	8 bit signed integer
GATuint8	8 bit un-signed integer
GATint16	16 bit signed integer
GATuint16	16 bit un-signed integer
GATint32	32 bit signed integer
GATuint32	32 bit un-signed integer
GATfloat32	32 bit floating point number
GATdouble64	64 bit double precision number

In addition to the standard GAT primitive types, which are guaranteed to exist on any C89/C99 platform, there exist a set of optional GAT primitive types which may or may not exist on a given target platform. These optional GAT primitive types existence depends upon the 64 bit support which the platform provides. The full dictionary of such optional GAT primitive types is given by
