Notes for draft review at HP in Cupertino at 1:00 on Thursday 10/14/04. Jim Thomas was our host. Dan Zuras, Jon Okada, Dick Delp, Alex Liu (phone), Eric Schwartz (phone), Peter Markstein, Joe Darcy, Leonard Tsai (phone), David Hough, Jeff Kidder (phone), Mike Cowlishaw (phone), & Ivan Godard (arter 3:00) attended. We went through the list of subcommittee proposals in the following order: (1) Shall I write a letter to the editor for various magazines asking about the signalling NaN question? SIAM News, IEEE Computer, CACM, Dr Dobbs, comp.arch.arithmetic, NA Digest (Cleve Moler's), et al YES (2) Should we define Annex Z with radix = 2 or 10 or not? http://754r.ucbtest.org/drafts/754r.pdf pages 87 to 99 YES (3) Should we do integers? Pull Z.1 out of purple. http://754r.ucbtest.org/drafts/754r.pdf pages 87 to 88 Write it up first (4) Shall we accept debug.sxw? Annex D. http://754r.ucbtest.org/subcommittee/debug.pdf Resubmit next time (5) Shall we accept correctly rounded base conversion? http://754r.ucbtest.org/proposals/base/base.pdf http://754r.ucbtest.org/subcommittee/crbase.pdf YES After we finished with that we continued to discuss the nature of the rounding specification we must make in light of my odd discovery of Tuesday. We'll start with the C99 specification. We also discussed whether we should ACTUALLY demand looking at all those digits on input & PRINTING them on output. Also, what are the default number of digits to print out for each precision when the number is unspecified. Now that Ivan is here, Dave decided to talk about modes.
