Better floating-point support
(1/1)
H. Peter Anvin:
Right now, NASM has approximately ±1 LSB accuracy on its floating-point conversion; it would be a lot better if it would always round values correctly.
Furthermore, it would be nice to support arithmetic on floating-point numbers.
This task would require considerable familiarity with the subtleties of IEEE floating-point arithmetic and conversions, since the NASM developers are primarily systems people and not numeric experts.

I am interested in this project. I have considerable experience with the FPU.
