/* The i386 floating point hardware (the 387 compatible FPU, not the modern
SSE/SSE2 hardware) has a controllable rounding precision. It is specified
through the 'PC' bits in the FPU control word ('fctrl' register). (See
the GNU libc i386 <fpu_control.h> header for details.)
On some platforms, such as Linux or Solaris, the default precision setting
is set to "extended precision". This means that 'long double' instructions
operate correctly, but 'double' computations often produce slightly
different results as on strictly IEEE 754 conforming systems.
On some platforms, such as NetBSD, the default precision is set to
"double precision". This means that 'long double' instructions will operate
only as 'double', i.e. lead wrong results.
The FPU control word is under control of the application, i.e. it is
not required to be set either way by the ABI. (In fact, the i386 ABI
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/elf/abi386-4.pdf page 3-12 = page 38
is not clear about it. But in any case, gcc treats the control word
like a "preserved" register: it emits code that assumes that the control
word is preserved across calls, and it restores the control word at the
end of functions that modify it.)
See Vincent Lefèvre's page http://www.vinc17.org/research/extended.en.html
for a good explanation.
See http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0103.0/0453.html for
some argumentation which setting should be the default. */
/* This header file provides the following facilities:
fpucw_t integral type holding the value of 'fctrl'
FPU_PC_MASK bit mask denoting the precision control
FPU_PC_DOUBLE precision control for 53 bits mantissa
FPU_PC_EXTENDED precision control for 64 bits mantissa
GET_FPUCW () yields the current FPU control word
SET_FPUCW (word) sets the FPU control word
DECL_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING variable declaration for
BEGIN/END_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING
BEGIN_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING () starts a sequence of instructions with
'long double' safe operation precision
END_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING () ends a sequence of instructions with
'long double' safe operation precision
