Hi,
I have a query regarding usage of IEEE_FEATURES
module.
Please look at the following snippet:
USE, INTRINSIC :: IEEE_FEATURES, ONLY: IEEE_ROUND
USE, INTRINSIC :: IEEE_ARITHMETIC
PRINT *, IEEE_SUPPORT_DENORMAL() ! <--(A)
END
Q. Assuming that there is hardware support for
denormal numbers for all reals and IEEE_FEATURES
module defines the named constant, IEEE_DENORMAL. What
should be the output for the print statement in (A)?
The question arises as the program requests only
IEEE_ROUND feature, so compiler support for other IEEE
features should not come in current scope, though
there is hardware support available for the feature.
rescue !
Thanks and best regards,
