Mark Dickinson added the comment: >From the buildbot configure output:
checking whether C doubles are little-endian IEEE 754 binary64... no checking whether C doubles are big-endian IEEE 754 binary64... yes checking whether C doubles are ARM mixed-endian IEEE 754 binary64... no checking whether we can use gcc inline assembler to get and set x87 control word... no checking for x87-style double rounding... yes Judging by that, it'll probably be using the legacy float repr, since the configure script didn't find a way to set the FPU control word. In that case this is just an overeager test: we expect 50 digits of accuracy but the system-supplied formatting only gives us 35. But it would also be good to try to find a way to enable the short float repr on that box. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16534> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
