------- Additional Comments From pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2004-03-24 06:36 ------- Looks fixed on the mainline: Do not store floating point variables in registers, and inhibit other options that might change whether a floating point value is taken from a register or memory.
This option prevents undesirable excess precision on machines such as the 68000 where the floating registers (of the 68881) keep more precision than a double is supposed to have. Similarly for the x86 architecture. For most programs, the excess precision does only good, but a few programs rely on the precise definition of IEEE floating point. Use -ffloat-store for such programs, after modifying them to store all pertinent intermediate computations into variables. Is this enough or is there more? -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords| |documentation http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14708 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You reported the bug, or are watching the reporter.
