Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: BTW, the MSDN documentation at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e9b52ceh(v=vs.100).aspx is a bit confusing. Question 1: when doing __control87_2(new, mask, &old, NULL), does the resulting value in old reflect the *new* FPU state or the old one? Question 2: in the example near the bottom of that page, there's code like: control_word_x87 = __control87_2(_PC_24, MCW_PC, &control_word_x87, 0); This looks very odd: we're assigning to control_word_x87, *and* passing it as an output parameter to the call. Moreover, from the documentation the return value from __control87_2 is always 1 to indicate success, so I'm not sure why it's being assigned to control_word_x87. Am I the only person who's confused by this? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13889> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
