(j3.2006) IEEE_SUPPORT_UNDERFLOW_MODE ?

[Jim Xia]

Thanks Bill.  I'll do that for F08 too unless I hear Malcom saying 
otherwise :-)

Thanks,

Hi 

I just read this sentence in F2003 standard [367:30-31] 

                   The function IEEE_SUPPORT_UNDERFLOW_MODE can be used to 
inquire whether this facility is available. 
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
The same sentence can be found in 07-007 at [455:16-17]. 

I cannot find another place in the documents referring to this function. 
This sentence seems to mean IEEE_SUPPORT_UNDERFLOW_CONTROL. 

This looks like a typo. I suspect someone was thinking of the GET and SET 
routines that use MODE.   Unless Malcolm just wants to fix this  directly 
in f08 as editor, you should also include it in an edits paper for the f08 
draft.


Cheers,
Bill



 I'm just wondering if anyone know if there is 
IEEE_SUPPORT_UNDERFLOW_MODE.  If not, I'll submit an interp for this. 

Thanks,
