[gmpi] Re: Reqs final draft

I can see lots of reasons to have all exceptions disabled (it's made for realtime apps - you don't want exceptions here more than you'd do in apps that use openGL), but what's your reason to want exceptions unmasked?

here is to allow both host & plugins to be able to round to nearest (the
most common) without having to change the FPU state.

I think we all agree that all exceptions should be masked, rounding to
nearest (standard in all languages I guess). Now as for the precision..
64bit or 80bits? It still matters for divisions.


i don't think we all agree that exceptions should be masked, but yes,
its definitely very important that the GMPI makes it clear what the
FPU state is going to be, and how it can be set (if at all) and reset
by plugins.
