what does -mpc64 do exactly? The gcc docs say: `-mpc64' rounds the the significands of results of floating-point operations to 53 bits (double precision) Does this mean that a rounding operation is performed after each fp operation, or that optimizations are permitted that don't result in accurate extended double precision values as long as they are correct to 53 bits, or something else? The LLVM code generators have an option called -limit-float-precision: -limit-float-precision=<uint> - Generate low-precision inline sequences for some float libcalls I'm not sure what it does exactly, but perhaps it is similar to -mpc64?
