Subject: Re: Considering x86-64 fenv.s to C


In considering an i386 architecture with XMM capability, there is an issue
with fegetenv()/feholdexcept() and fesetenv()/feupdateenv().

There is no __mxcsr field in the fenv_t structure.

So, there is no way to return the MXCSR using the first pair.

Do I just bury any MXCSR exceptions into the __status_word?
