Floating-point Proposals
Sun: widefp (default) & strictfp
- widefp admits indiscriminant use of float- and double-extended
- strictfp implies original Java semantics
JGF: default, strictfp, associativefp
- default allows wide (15-bit) exponent range, allowing full speed, minor differences on x86
- default allows fused multiply-add (FMA)
- associativefp admits associativity
