Another related question:
When using floating point in the driver, the compiler generates calls to the
floating point library!
There're references to fltused (I think I can get rid of that by defining my
own fltused!), and __ftol.
Why does the compiler need to call ftol - can it not use the FPU to do this?
The line that seems to cause this call is:
*((int *)&data) = (int)fData;
where fData is a float.
Please note that the following line does not require ftol, why?
*((int *)&data) = (int)(float)1.0;
Is there a compiler define? Or will I have to roll my own ftol!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Devendra.

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Floating Point in the Kernel
Hi,
What are the restrictions for using floating point in the kernel?
All I need to do is convert between 32bit ints and 32bit floats.
I think I can use FLOATOBJ, but I was hoping for a better alternative.
The driver will only run under Windows XP, so ME/9x is not really a
concern
for me.
Thanks.
Devendra.
