It seems that you are right in this instance. However I recall seeing
comments about error cascading reducing rouding in the guts of
libmsun, or in some fpe code somewhere (perhaps billm's linux fpe
code?). Maybe they were only comments and not code. Does IEEE Std
754-1985 make internal rounding verboten? What about if you have 64
bits in your fp regs, but only advertise 56 bits through to the api?
Cheers,
Julian.
