Hi,
I noticed the other day that when I typed "(+ 1.0 1.1)" into usim I got
the wrong result. Other floating ops seemed to be ok, but fadd seemed
to be broken. I fooled around with some tracing and discovered that the
carry code in the ALU was broken.
I suspect this is also causing the scheduler to crash. I'm not sure,
but I think that was due to a time overflow problem, also affected by
the add carry.
I have a simple fix. I want to rework that 64 bit code at some point to
use (faster) 32 bit operations, but for now it seems to be right and 1.0
+ 1.1 = 2.1, which is good :-)
just thought I'd mention it.
