I'm sure it is.  The only purpose of my mail was to clarify what I
meant by "nonstandard", which in this case was "not strictly
conforming".  I didn't intend to imply anything else.


But a compiler that implements wrap around IS strictly conforming.
A program that takes advantage of it is depending on non-standard
semantics, but then so is any program that uses floating-point and
expects it to have IEEE semantics to any extent.
