23/* The i386 floating point hardware (the 387 compatible FPU, not the modern
24 SSE/SSE2 hardware) has a controllable rounding precision. It is specified
25 through the 'PC' bits in the FPU control word ('fctrl' register). (See
26 the GNU libc i386 <fpu_control.h> header for details.)
27
28 On some platforms, such as Linux or Solaris, the default precision setting
29 is set to "extended precision". This means that 'long double' instructions
30 operate correctly, but 'double' computations often produce slightly
31 different results as on strictly IEEE 754 conforming systems.
32
33 On some platforms, such as NetBSD, the default precision is set to
34 "double precision". This means that 'long double' instructions will operate
35 only as 'double', i.e. lead wrong results.
36
37 The FPU control word is under control of the application, i.e. it is
38 not required to be set either way by the ABI. (In fact, the i386 ABI
39 http://refspecs.freestandards.org/elf/abi386-4.pdf page 3-12 = page 38
40 is not clear about it. But in any case, gcc treats the control word
41 like a "preserved" register: it emits code that assumes that the control
42 word is preserved across calls, and it restores the control word at the
43 end of functions that modify it.)

45 See Vincent LefÚvre's page http://www.vinc17.org/research/extended.en.html
46 for a good explanation.
47 See http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0103.0/0453.html for
48 some argumentation which setting should be the default. */

53 FPU_PC_DOUBLE precision control for 53 bits mantissa
54 FPU_PC_EXTENDED precision control for 64 bits mantissa
