| Oct 5, 2017 at 8:46 | comment | added | Jesbus | @TomHale Yeah, a standard is a standard ofcourse. Thing is, I've had problems with 64-bit float arithmetic being compiled to extended precision 80-bit float arithmetic without anyone noticing. After the calculations were done, the compiler converted the 80-bit float back to 64-bit float. This caused apparent differences on different hardware, which was kind of a disaster. Ofcourse it was the compiler's and the programmers' fault, not the hardware's or the standard's. I guess I'm a bit prejudiced against floats :-) | |
