/* AVR-GCC does not have real double datatype. Instead its double
 * is equal to float, i.e. 32 bit value. If you need to communicate
 * with other systems that use double in their .proto files, you
 * need to do some conversion.
 *
 * These functions use bitwise operations to mangle floats into doubles
 * and then store them in uint64_t datatype.
