Re: SPAM [GD-General] ieee754 -0.0f?

[Peter <pe...@to...>]

what is the context here?  If you're interpreting 0x80000000 (32 bit 
int) as a 32-bit IEEE float it's -0.0f   and 0x00000000 is 0.0f.
  Where are you seeing the -0.0f? In a debugger? I think you must be 
seeing some idiosyncrasy of your development environment or toolchain.
