Hi:
I compiled a task with GCC 2.8.1 to do inline floating point by including
<math.h> and setting up the appropriate define flag.
I then strated a periodic RT task that tries to calculate the square root
of -1.
I expected a nasty crash.
Instead, the task kept rolling along, surviving the floating point errors.
I check the assembler code generated by GCC and the fsqrt instruction is
there.
Can someone explain what's going on and why my puter did not crash?
Pierre
