Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: Yes, I think you're right.
Perhaps the SSE2 support should be turned into an --enable-sse2 configure option, that's disabled by default? One problem with this is that I don't know how to enable SSE2 instructions for compilers other than gcc, so the option would only apply to gcc-based systems. Disabling SSE2 would just mean that all x86/gcc systems would end up using the inline assembler to get and set the control word; so we'd still get short float repr everywhere we did before. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1580> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
