Re: [Pharo-users] Set Rounding mode for IEEE floating point operations

Hi,

is there any way to set the rounding mode for IEEE floating point operations? Maybe something like

Double roundToMinusInfWhile: [... code goes here ...]Double

...

roundToZeroWhile: [... more code here ...]

If not, is it possible to add this behavior, e.g., via a custom primitive?

​This might interesting to have something like that for PolyMath, but I'm a little worried of subtle consequences that might appear in UI if you use points for examples.​ -- Serge Stinckwich UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC/UY1) "Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/
