Violin technique once. "Double stopping" is also used to mean playing on three or all four strings at once, although such practices are more properly called "triple" or "quadruple stopping". Collectively, double, triple and quadruple stopping is called "multiple stopping". However, triple or quadruple stopping is more commonly just called a chord. Sounding an open string alongside a fingered note is another way to get a harmony. While sometimes also called a double stop, it is more properly called a drone, as the drone note (the open string) may be sustained for a passage of different notes played on the adjacent string.
Quadruple-precision floating-point format switch) or simply as being synonymous with double precision (e.g. Microsoft Visual C++), rather than as quadruple precision. On a few other architectures, some C/C++ compilers implement codice_8 as quadruple precision, e.g. gcc on PowerPC (as double-double) and SPARC, or the Sun Studio compilers on SPARC. Even if codice_8 is not quadruple precision, however, some C/C++ compilers provide a nonstandard quadruple-precision type as an extension. For example, gcc provides a quadruple-precision type called codice_14 for x86, x86-64 and Itanium CPUs, and on PowerPC as IEEE 128-bit floating-point using the -mfloat128-hardware or -mfloat128 options; and some versions of Intel's C/C++ compiler
