In 4.x, LDBL_* just points to DBL_*. imp_at_ : changed it to reflect the native hardware precision in v1.9. : : IMHO, it would be nice to run the i386 in native precision but that : opens up a can of worms (since expressions will wind up being : evaluated in different precisions depending on whether the compiler : needs to spill registers onto the stack and whether temporary : variables are registers or stack). Yes. I tried to change the default mask to to do the right thing, but bde and you (I think) convinced me to not commit that change. WarnerReceived on Fri Aug 05 2005 - 15:28:16 UTC
