Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: r82614: add functionality to change FPU rounding mode (via float.__setround__ and float.__getround__ functions), on platforms that support the standard C99 fesetround and fegetround functions:
>>> float.__getround__() 'tonearest' >>> 1e300 * 1e300 inf >>> float.__setround__("downward") >>> 1e300 * 1e300 1.7976931348623157e+308 This is just temporary, so that I can test that FPU rounding mode doesn't affect results of string-to-float and float-to-string conversions. I'm not planning to merge any of r82614 back to py3k. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9009> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
