| 97 | DirectX/Direct3D (up to version 9) sets the x87 FPU to single-precision | ||
| 98 | mode by default. This violates the Windows ABI and interferes with the | ||
| 99 | operation of many programs — LuaJIT is affected, too. Please make | ||
| 100 | sure you always use the <tt>D3DCREATE_FPU_PRESERVE</tt> flag when | ||
| 101 | initializing Direct3D.<br> | ||
| 102 | |||
| 103 | Direct3D version 10 or higher do not show this behavior anymore. | ||
| 104 | Consider testing your application with older versions, too.<br> | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | Similarly, the Borland/Delphi runtime modifies the FPU control word and | ||
| 107 | enables FP exceptions. Of course this violates the Windows ABI, too. | ||
| 108 | Please check the Delphi docs for the Set8087CW method. | ||
