If we're talking about for general use in CFLAGs clearly -ffast-math isn't something that even could be supported if we wanted to. The flag is just not intended for general use. That isn't the same as saying that we can just break it in cases where it actually is appropriate. Calculating scroll bar movement is exactly the sort of thing that this flag was actually designed for - you don't care if it is off by 1/100th of a pixel. But, the way to track that sort of a thing is to log those as bugs against appropriate use within individual apps and make them blockers. I'd consider things like this valid bugs - but whether they hold things up should depend on real-world impact. I'm not sure how bad the impact on chromium actually is. Rich
