Hello, Ahmet will be back only on Oct 6.
However, I do not fully understand this request. Where does this requirement come from: “_Decimal128 arithmetic requires the round-to-nearest rounding mode”? Is that the DFP rounding mode set in SW using DFP library functions, or the BFP (Binary Floating-Point) rounding mode set in HW, in MXCSR and/or the x87 Control Register?
