C.5     ANSI C code
[...] The algorithmic description given by the C code shall take
precedence over the texts contained in the main body of the full
version of G.729, Annex A or this annex. As of the approval of this
text, the current version of this ANSI C code is Version 1.01 of 15
September 1998. More recent versions may become available through
corrigenda or amendments to G.729. Please ensure to use the latest
available version from the ITU-T website. [...]


So constants can be got from floating-point reference code too, right?
