| -- Control functions for floating-point unit |
| |
| package System.Float_Control is |
| pragma Pure; |
| -- This is not fully correct, but this unit is with-ed by pure units |
| -- (eg s-imgrea). |
| |
| procedure Reset; |
| pragma Inline (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. |
