However, just a few days ago we discussed various floating point formats and one of them was to leave the actual computations to the FP library, which would make it hard for the compiler to optimise these as it could not call those functions at compile time. This is pretty trivial to optimize at compile time as long as everything is IEEE FP but if the run time libraries are not 100% compatible we have subtle issues. br Kusti This e-mail may contain confidential or privileged information.
