IEEE requirements

All arithmetic computations generated by the C compiler strictly conform to IEEE requirements. The following is a discussion of some topics where the C compilation system falls short of completely meeting the ANSI/IEEE Standard 754-1985 requirements or the spirit of the requirements.

• ``Conversion of floating point formats to integer''

• ``Square root''

• ``Compares and unordered condition''

• ``NaNs and infinities in input/output''
