Hi to all,

I have not yet found any information regarding the implementation of 
IEEE-754-2008r to FPC compiler. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754-2008_revision

Any information will be really appreciated in order to keep on FPC
projects.

Thanking you, in advance...

Apparently it was a long committee process for naught:

QuoteDue to changes in CPU design and development, the 2008 IEEE
floating point standard could be viewed as historical or outdated as
the 1985 standard it replaced.
