Re: [rtl] More questions about floating point

["Norm Dresner" <ndrez@att.net>]

I assume we're talking about x86 architecture.  What you
want to do is to read the status register of the FPU.  IIRC
there are FPU-instructions for doing just that.
Unfortunately I don't know the linux assembler well enough
to come up with a Q&D means of doing that but hopefully one
of the gurus will jump in and save the day.
