No, it isn't. It's what he said it was, and what the code says it is: a 
SNGL_VECT, a single-precision vector.

I'd have to agree with the advice he has already given: learn C. Your 
questions indicate that you don't know it, and messing around with 
anything but the most basic things without knowing the language POV is 
written in is just not going to work.
Ideally, get a simple primer book on C++, POV was originally written in 
C, so most of it is structured like a C program, but it now uses C++. I 
have a book called the "C++ Primer Plus" by the Waite group that I'd 
recommend.
Once you've got the basics down, then you have a chance of understanding 
the POV code...but don't expect to have everything handed to you on a 
silver platter, you will have to carefully read the code and look at the 
structure of the different parts. And when someone tells you something 
or asks you a question, don't just ignore what they said.
