I tried sending this twice to the gcc list, but it just doesn't work, so maybe someone here knows about this:
Someone sais that running a program (in fortran, translated by f2c) under linux with 4.6.26 and gcc 2.6.3 gives erroneous results. The same program run in a sun workstation works, but produces msgs. like "Note: the following IEEE floating-point arithmetic exceptions occurred and were never cleared; see IEEE-flags(3M): Inexact; Invalid Operand". I thought floating point arithmetic was IEEE-compliant by default. Is it? If so, how can I disable it? If not, how can I enable it? Also, is there a public document describing the IEEE standard?
