Wellll, it it were	by binkley	2003-12-19 04:54:55
really poorly structured... but then that's the problem w/ the basic coding. Can you imagine using FP for an address calculation? Or malloc? Floating point is by it's very nature an approximation. The article does a great disservice by mixing 2 very different issues, the effect that FP accuracy (and coding correctness) have had on realtime apps, particularly things like guidance systems, and basic digital control systems (state machine) integrity, which is the OS stability issue. The former should never be allowed into the domain of the latter, as several UFies above have pointed out.
