While we're on the subject of Alpha and flush-to-zero modes,
do you know what exception bits should get set when Alpha
flushes a denormal output (not input) to zero?
At the moment softfloat doesn't set any flags when it does
this, which is definitely wrong for ARM. I had a look at
the manuals for the other archs which might set flush_to_zero:
SH: should set underflow flag
ARM: should set underflow flag
PPC: should set underflow (I think)
MIPS: docs didn't say
I think Alpha should set Inexact and not Underflow, but
I'm not sure -- can you confirm/deny?
(Obviously I would prefer it if every architecture just
needed to set underflow, but somehow I don't think it
will work out that cleanly :-))
thanks
