Gentle people:
Grrr
A question: in Gcc for Solaris Sparc is there any initialization
required previous to the execution of Floating Point Instructions
in a program?
Inspection of the _start function implies that there is! Can anybody
explain the details?
What do you mean by 'initialization'?
Ive wasted enough time trying to devine what the OP is talking about.
My bad.
Here's a program that does a bit
of floating point maths. Nothing more/less than one would have in any
other C program. I must be missing the point somewhere.
Both of us are.
Without a snippet example of code from the OP to see we remain in the
dark..
Perhaps he's talking about inline asm floating point? sin() is a
library call so wont
do any of the above with _start I suspect.
I dont think this anything to do with admin so I wont cross post there
