GCL/maxima/axiom/acl2, denormalized floats, and alpha
Greetings!
Thank you so much!
I've located the issue -- denormalized floats on alpha. Right now,
GCL uses the -mieee gcc switch. How much worse is the
-mieee-with-inexact? I hesitate to use this if it slows everything
down, especially since it does not appear that maxima intends to use
these numbers anyway. This having been said, a generic lisp system
should support least-positive-double-float, et. al. Do you have an
opinion?
Take care,
