If we're talking about for general use in CFLAGs clearly -ffast-math |
7 |
isn't something that even could be supported if we wanted to. The |
8 |
flag is just not intended for general use. |

That isn't the same as saying that we can just break it in cases where |
11 |
it actually is appropriate. Calculating scroll bar movement is |
12 |
exactly the sort of thing that this flag was actually designed for - |
13 |
you don't care if it is off by 1/100th of a pixel. |

But, the way to track that sort of a thing is to log those as bugs |
16 |
against appropriate use within individual apps and make them blockers. |

I'd consider things like this valid bugs - but whether they hold |
18 |
things up should depend on real-world impact. I'm not sure how bad |
19 |
the impact on chromium actually is. |
