Hello all,
well now that I'm experimenting with GSL I must say that I'm very
impressed - especially with the PRNG facilities! This library is
filling a gaping void on Linux.
I have a question that I have every hope that someone here
can answer - I notice that you are using the fpu set control-word
stuff for x86 platforms. I had discovered this in a very unprincipled
romp through the headers. I've asked about techniques to do this on
newsgroups etc. and there appears to be little common knowledge about
it , especially about the change to _FPU_SETCW() in glibc. I have
had a hard look at the info files that came with RH6.1 to see if there
is mention of this, but there is none. What/where is the most current
source of information on this?
Cheers,
Oisin
