Rounding mode

[wolfboyft]

So provided you use stock LÖVE or compile it yourself without changing that setting (and I can't think of any reason to), we're ok? You could just detect the mode and say "oi, recompile or just download" if it isn't the right one.

In the Stack Overflow post I linked earlier, I had this snippet which included unit testing:

Code: Select all

-- Round to nearest or even - Guaranteed to work for inputs between -2^50 and 2^50
-- if the FPU is using this rounding mode.
local function round(num)
  return num + (2^52 + 2^51) - (2^52 + 2^51)
end

local function testnum(num, expected)
  if round(num) ~= expected then
    error(("Failure rounding %.17g, expected %.17g, actual %.17g")
          :format(num+0, expected+0, round(num)+0))
  end
end

local function test(num, expected)
  testnum(num, expected)
  testnum(-num, -expected)
end

test(0, 0)
test(0.2, 0)
test(0.4, 0)
-- Most rounding algorithms you find on the net fail this one:
test(0.49999999999999994, 0)
-- Ties are rounded to the nearest even number, rather than always up:
test(0.5, 0)
test(0.5000000000000001, 1)
test(1.4999999999999998, 1)
test(1.5, 2)
test(2.5, 2)
test(3.5, 4)
test(2^50-0.5, 2^50)
test(2^50-1.5, 2^50-2)
print("All tests passed")
