Hi FX,
Maybe the ping is a bit early, as you know I’m not very active anymore, so I do
not know what are the current policies. In particular, how much leeway do I
have to commit the patch if there is no comment from another maintainer?
I am fairly confident about the code, because I wrote the original IEEE
implementation so I know it very well. I believe it would probably be better to
commit this and have it tested on mainline, that wait for too long. I intend to
submit further patches and improvements in this area, once those are merged.
Looks good in principle.
Just a couple of remarks:
Both of these functions are new with Fortran 2018, could you add
a standards version check?
And, more general: I don't think we document which part of the IEEE
arithmetic we support. It might be a good idea to add that to the manual
(but not for this patch).
So, OK with the version check.
Best regards
Thomas
