Subject: Re: Java floating-point mess
Date: Fri, 05 Apr 2002 06:25:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020405142004.2A101F28D5@nile.gnat.com> (raw)

<<The only issue here is that we won't be able to cross-compile Java on
a VAX or somesuch, isn't it?  Or am I missing something here?

That sounds right provided that the front end is not trying to use host
floating-point arithmetic to precompute expressions (IEEE is not nearly
enough of an absolute standard for this to give the right results in
all cases).
