<title>Floating-point rounding modes</title> |
|
|
|
<para>The Intel (x86 / x86_64) and PowerISA architectures both support the |
|
4 IEEE-754 rounding modes. Again while the Intel Intrinsic API allows the |
|
application to change rounding modes via updates to the |
|
<literal>MXCSR</literal> it is a bad idea |
|
and should be replaced with the POSIX APIs (<literal>fegetround</literal> and |
|
<literal>fesetround</literal>). </para> |
