13010 2011-06-21 15:42:55 +0000 [F+O30] Which version of IEEE 754? 2011-07-21 21:24:28 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified XPath / XQuery / XSLT Functions and Operators 3.0 Working drafts PC Windows NT CLOSED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 mike mike jim.melton public-qt-comments oldest_to_newest 50035 0 mike 2011-06-21 15:42:55 +0000 The Functions and Operators specification refers to both the 1985 and 2008 editions of IEEE 754. The references should probably all change to refer to the 2008 edition. 50053 1 jim.melton 2011-06-21 21:16:15 +0000 Why, Mike? We're not adopting precisionDecimal. What other changes are in IEEE 754:2008 that we need to recognize? Just curious, Jim 50061 2 mike 2011-06-21 21:48:06 +0000 The trigonometric functions are defined in terms of 754:2008. I've no idea whether 754:1985 defines these, or whether the definitions are the same. Having invested in a copy of the 754:2008 spec, I've no particular enthusiasm for buying a copy of 754:1985 just to find out whether it has changed. I think we can be reasonably confident that there won't be any material changes to the definitions of double arithmetic, other than bug fixes, between the two: the spec is embodied in a lot of hardware. Mike 50426 3 mike 2011-06-28 16:11:29 +0000 Agreed to update references to the latest version. 51355 4 mike 2011-07-21 21:24:14 +0000 All references have been updated to refer to the 2008 edition.
