... thinking is more along exactly those lines - that this is a case of the reasons to avoid dependence on exact equality of floating point things in general, as opposed to a reason to limit the language just because such inequality might happen in a cross compilation. -- Richard Maine | Good judgement comes from experience; email: last name at domain . net | experience comes from bad judgement. domain: summertriangle...

Brownback had ruled that the secretary of defense lacked the authority to expand the traditional definition of "conspiracy" to include joining an "enterprise of persons who shared a common...

...:ia32 on Windows.) SSE2 instead of x87, or something else? If you compare to x87 code with intermediate results in the 80 bit registers (64 bit significand) then the results might be different. There is a discussion on another list on the advantages of extra precision in floating point products. It would be nice to have a high-level language allowing for extra precision in multiply/add, such as generated by the x87. -- glen

.... If you heard "fuck" or "shit" then they weren't bleeped out at all. Did you hear "fuck" or "shit" or did you hear "fu" or "ck" or "sh" or "it?" As I said, I think they wanted people to know what was being said. I could pretty much make out the whole word, really. The words should be removed and replaced with beeps.
