What should we expect from the floating point support in 64-bit Delphi compiler?
-
Will 64-bit compiler use SSE to
implement floating point arithmetic? -
Will 64-bit compiler support the
current 80-bit floating type
(Extended)?
These questions are closely related, so I ask them as a single question.
For the double=extended bit:

In hindsight logical, because while SSE2 regs are 128 bit, they are used as two 64-bit doubles.
