We are certainly interested. I've been following along all the
discussions about constrained math, FENV_ACCESS, etc. and it all seems
quite reasonable to me.
We are needing to handle the IEEE settings we have on our Alpha and
Itanium targets. We have various C and Fortran command line settings like:
CC
/IEEE_MODE
/IEEE_MODE=option
/IEEE_MODE=DENORM_RESULTS (D)
Selects the IEEE floating-point mode to be used.
Options:
FAST During program execution, only finite values (no
infinities, NaNs, or denorms) are created.
Exceptional conditions, such as floating point
overflow and divide by zero, are fatal.
UNDERFLOW_TO_ZERO Generate infinities and NaNs. Flush
denormalized results and underflow to zero
without exceptions.
DENORM_RESULTS Same as UNDERFLOW_TO_ZERO, except that denorms
are generated. This is the default for I64
systems.
INEXACT Same as DENORM_RESULTS, except that inexact
values are trapped. This is the slowest mode.
CC
/ROUNDING_MODE
/ROUNDING_MODE=option
/ROUNDING_MODE=NEAREST (D)
For /FLOAT=IEEE_MODE, the /ROUNDING_MODE qualifier lets you select
one of the following IEEE rounding modes:
o NEAREST (default)
o DYNAMIC
o MINUS_INFINITY
o CHOPPED
For /FLOAT=G_FLOAT or /FLOAT=D_FLOAT, rounding defaults to
/ROUNDING_MODE=NEAREST, with no other choice of rounding mode.
