I was wondering if it's necessary to turn on FPU stuff for a realtime kernel thread, if I do some basic floating point math but I don't care about the state of floating point registers being saved across iterations of a thread loop...?
It seems to me that even though I don't care about the persistence of double or float variables across thread invocations, if the FPU isn't configured correctly strange unwanted CPU exceptions can occur. Is this so? :) -Calin -- [rtl] --- To unsubscribe: echo "unsubscribe rtl" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR echo "unsubscribe rtl <Your_email>" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For more information on Real-Time Linux see: http://www.rtlinux.org/
