Do you have any examples of how GCC is *not* strictfp compliant (at least on common platforms)? My understanding is that, by default, it tries to be strictly IEEE 754. On x86 it will store values to memory and make a function call to do FP arithmetic, unless -ffast-math is given which allows it to do inline math using (the 80-bit x87) FP registers. So, unless I misunderstand something and there is more to it, we should make -ffast-math the default for Java except where strictfp is encountered. regards Bryce _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
