>Description:
I have found two problems with the web page
http://gcc.gnu.org/readings.html
in the "Miscellaneous information" section:
1. The link "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know
about Floating-Point Arithmetic" points to an online
version in the ACM digital library. This doesn't appear
to provide full text without a paid subscription (at least
I haven't been able to get the full text from it).
I suggest we change the link to point to one of the
freely available versions of this same document on
the web, such as
http://www.validlab.com/goldberg/paper.ps
and/or
http://www.validlab.com/goldberg/paper.pdf
2. The link "Differences in IEEE 754 Implementations"
(an appendix of the Goldberg paper) points to a site
that has moved. The new url is
http://www.validlab.com/goldberg/addendum.html
