Probably the only way to ensure this is to recompile Numpy (and possibly, also Python) with the -ffloat-store option turned on. When compiling Numpy, you should be able to insert the flag via OPT="-ffloat-store" python setup.py build -- Pauli Virtanen _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
