While reading some source code, I saw a variable called "end" of type
"time". So I investigated what the type "time" meant and saw that time
was a typedef for "Real". So what does "Real" mean? "Real" is a
typedef for QL_REAL. So what does "QL_REAL" mean? QL_REAL is type
double via the line of code #define QL_REAL double....

so what's your question? So the line

time end;
or however it was defined becomes
double end;
after all the preprocessore directives are finished. So what's the
question? Or is this an observation or a comment?

Thank you for sharing with us a few minutes of your life. Now, was there a
question buried in your report, somewhere, that you were planning to ask?

Congratulations, you have discovered abstraction, a fundamental skill
when writing software.

No, I don't think the OP has discovered abstraction. I wrote
_exactly_ the same paragraph in another posting, and the OP just copy-
pasted it. I don't know why the OP did this(??)
If the OP has discovered anything, it is the art of copying and
pasting text.
