It is specified through the 'PC' bits in the FPU control word ('fctrl' register). (See the GNU libc i386 header for details.) On some platforms, such as Linux or Solaris, the default precision setting is set to "extended precision". This means that 'long double' instructions operate correctly, but 'double' computations often produce slightly different results as on strictly IEEE 754 conforming systems. On some platforms, such as NetBSD, the default precision is set to "double precision". This means that 'long double' instructions will operate only as 'double', i.e. lead wrong results. The FPU control word is under control of the application, i.e. it is not required to be set either way by the ABI. (In fact, the i386 ABI http://refspecs.freestandards.org/elf/abi386-4.pdf page 3-12 = page 38 is not clear about it. But in any case, gcc treats the control word like a "preserved" register: it emits code that assumes that the control word is preserved across calls, and it restores the control word at the end of functions that modify it.) See Vincent Lefèvre's page http://www.vinc17.org/research/extended.en.html for a good explanation. See http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0103.0/0453.html for some argumentation which setting should be the default. */ /* This header file provides the following facilities: fpucw_t integral type holding the value of 'fctrl' FPU_PC_MASK bit mask denoting the precision control FPU_PC_DOUBLE precision control for 53 bits mantissa FPU_PC_EXTENDED precision control for 64 bits mantissa GET_FPUCW () yields the current FPU control word SET_FPUCW (word) sets the FPU control word DECL_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING variable declaration for BEGIN/END_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING BEGIN_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING () starts a sequence of instructions with 'long double' safe operation precision END_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING () ends a sequence of instructions with 'long double' safe operation precision */ /* Inline assembler like this works only with GNU C. */ #if (defined __i386__ || defined __x86_64__) && defined __GNUC__ typedef unsigned short fpucw_t; /* glibc calls this fpu_control_t */ # define FPU_PC_MASK 0x0300 # define FPU_PC_DOUBLE 0x200 /* glibc calls this _FPU_DOUBLE */ # define FPU_PC_EXTENDED 0x300 /* glibc calls this _FPU_EXTENDED */ # define GET_FPUCW() \ ({ fpucw_t _cw; \ __asm__ __volatile__ ("fnstcw %0" : "=m" (*&_cw)); \ _cw; \ }) # define SET_FPUCW(word) \ (void)({ fpucw_t _ncw = (word); \ __asm__ __volatile__ ("fldcw %0" : : "m" (*&_ncw)); \ }) # define DECL_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING \ fpucw_t oldcw; # define BEGIN_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING() \ (void)(oldcw = GET_FPUCW (), \ SET_FPUCW ((oldcw & ~FPU_PC_MASK) | FPU_PC_EXTENDED)) # define END_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING() \ SET_FPUCW (oldcw) #else typedef unsigned int fpucw_t; # define FPU_PC_MASK 0 # define FPU_PC_DOUBLE 0 # define FPU_PC_EXTENDED 0 # define GET_FPUCW() 0 # define SET_FPUCW(word) (void)(word) # define DECL_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING # define BEGIN_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING() # define END_LONG_DOUBLE_ROUNDING() #endif #endif /* _FPUCW_H */
