Returning floats from drivers

[Sean Hinde]

Hi,

I'd like to return a floating point number from a driver using the
driver_output_term mechanism. It would appear that this is an unsupported
option at present.

Are there any plans to support this?

It is not totally obvious what the format of the float should be, though
binaries currently support encode/decode to/from IEEE format so that would
appear to be a reasonable solution.

Rgds,
Sean
