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. private pragma Import (C, Reset, "__gnat_init_float"); end GNAT.Float_Control;
