+package GNAT.Float_Control is
+
+ procedure Reset;
+ -- Reset the floating-point processor to the default state needed to get
+ -- correct Ada semantics for the target. Some third party tools change
+ -- the settings for the floating-point processor. Reset can be called
+ -- to reset the floating-point processor into the mode required by GNAT
+ -- for correct operation. Use this call after a call to foreign code if
+ -- you suspect incorrect floating-point operation after the call.
+ --
+ -- For example under Windows NT some system DLL calls change the default
+ -- FPU arithmetic to 64 bit precision mode. However, since in Ada 95 it
+ -- is required to provide full access to the floating-point types of the
+ -- architecture, GNAT requires full 80-bit precision mode, and Reset makes
+ -- sure this mode is established.
+ --
+ -- Similarly on the PPC processor, it is important that overflow and
+ -- underflow exceptions be disabled.
+ --
+ -- The call to Reset simply has no effect if the target environment
+ -- does not give rise to such concerns.
