[gambit-list] Are flonums passed around within Gambit by value or reference? What's their bit width on 32 & 64bir archs?

Dear Marc,

Something I was curious about for long:

So fixnums are passed around in Gambit by value and all objects like
closures, pairs, vectors and bignums are passed around by reference.

What about flonums?


Also, what's the flonum bit width (exponent & fraction respectively) on 32
and 64bit architectures?

Thanks,
Mikael
