We have an application here that does a lot of floating point
calculations. We have noticed differences in results between gcc and
other compilers. i.e. cc on Sun, Borland C on PC, and MS C on PC give
identical results. Only gcc on Sun differs. Does gcc do something
different form other compilers in terms of floating point? Is there some
test suite of floating point programs that I could run the various
compilers against?
