^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I should probably use b, instead of a here wrt the hex output:
printf("\nb = %f, hex = ", b.target);
ct_hex_printf(stdout, b.buf.bytes, sizeof(b.buf.bytes));
Sorry about that.

int main(void)
{
union ct_holder a;
a.target = sqrt(2.);
union ct_holder b = { .0 };
b.buf = a.buf; // store a double
printf("a = %f, hex = ", a.target);
ct_hex_printf(stdout, a.buf.bytes, sizeof(a.buf.bytes));
printf("\nb = %f, hex = ", b.target);
ct_hex_printf(stdout, b.buf.bytes, sizeof(b.buf.bytes)); // <---
if (a.target != b.target) // load, compare
{
printf("\n\nAh Shucks!\n");
}
else
{
printf("\n\nEQUAL!\n");
}
return 0;
}
