Zitat von Florian Klämpfl <flor...@freepascal.org>:
So you want float constants being evaluated always with full precision (which would be required for consistency)
causing any floating point expression containing a constant being evaluated with full precision as well?
Yes, at least as default or selectable per option (like FASTMATH etc),
and AFAIK it is default for all compilers I know except 3.1.1.
I am not sure if people like this, this means for example that
single2:=single1/3.0;
results in two type conversions and a double division (which is more expensive than a single one). But actually, I just
found out that we have something like this already for years:
{$minfpconstprec 64}
