YESSSSS :) We love good comments! And comments should be close to the code else they rot. There is no problem having long nd precise comments that empower the reader. > Any other opinion ? One important question is what is the impact of the hardware dirven solution on bit identical computation on different machine. I would do the following: use the smalltalk - bit identical idea all the times provide one methods for people knowing that they want to get faster but potentially different floats on different platform.
