Hello,

Just curious, how would LinuxCNC detect a lack of precision in floating point? 
There are trivial x86_64 specific math instructions which would probably be 
faster than what LinuxCNC has used since the beginning but if these 
instructions happened to be off by a few decimals somewhere, how would you 
know? Would LinuxCNC throw a fault or would the machine just drift further and 
further away from where it's supposed to be or what?

The functions in question are:

https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/math/x86_64/fabs.c

and

https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/math/x86_64/sqrt.c

Thanks!

Alec
