There are a few platforms, the most prominent of which is alpha, on which GCC offers an option to enable or disable strict IEEE compliance. On alpha, it's -mieee. Even x86 has -mieee-fp, to handle unordered compares correctly in all cases. Oh, wait.

I'm not sure going all the way to -ffast-math would be appropriate, but certainly disabling strict IEEE compliance by default, on platforms on which it makes a difference, would be perfectly reasonable. -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{cygnus.com, redhat.com} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
