  16. /* The i386 floating point hardware (the 387 compatible FPU, not the modern
  17. SSE/SSE2 hardware) has a controllable rounding precision. It is specified
  18. through the 'PC' bits in the FPU control word ('fctrl' register). (See
  19. the GNU libc i386 <fpu_control.h> header for details.)
  20. On some platforms, such as Linux or Solaris, the default precision setting
  21. is set to "extended precision". This means that 'long double' instructions
  22. operate correctly, but 'double' computations often produce slightly
  23. different results as on strictly IEEE 754 conforming systems.
  24. On some platforms, such as NetBSD, the default precision is set to
  25. "double precision". This means that 'long double' instructions will operate
  26. only as 'double', i.e. lead to wrong results. Similarly on FreeBSD 6.4, at
  27. least for the division of 'long double' numbers.
  28. The FPU control word is under control of the application, i.e. it is
  29. not required to be set either way by the ABI. (In fact, the i386 ABI
  30. http://refspecs.freestandards.org/elf/abi386-4.pdf page 3-12 = page 38
  31. is not clear about it. But in any case, gcc treats the control word
  32. like a "preserved" register: it emits code that assumes that the control
  33. word is preserved across calls, and it restores the control word at the
  34. end of functions that modify it.)
  35. See Vincent Lefèvre's page http://www.vinc17.org/research/extended.en.html
  36. for a good explanation.
  37. See http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0103.0/0453.html for
  38. some argumentation which setting should be the default. */
