# objc_msgSend_fpret

Sends a message with a floating-point return value to an instance of a class.

## Declaration

```occ
extern void objc_msgSend_fpret();
```

## Parameters

Parameters Discussion On the i386 platform, the ABI for functions returning a floating-point value is incompatible with that for functions returning an integral type. On the i386 platform, therefore, you must use objc_msgSend_fpret for functions that for functions returning non-integral type. For float or long double return types, cast the function to an appropriate function pointer type first. This function is not used on the PPC or PPC64 platforms.
