[PATCH v2 1/5] math.h: Introduce data types for fractional numbers

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Mon Jan 10 2022 - 14:31:09 EST


Introduce a macro to produce data types like

struct TYPE_fract {
__TYPE numerator;
__TYPE denominator;
};

to be used in the code wherever it's needed.

In the following changes convert some users to it.
