[cfe-dev] [llvm-dev] [FPEnv] Rust/Go/Swift/Flang/other llvm IRBuilder needs?

[Than McIntosh via cfe-dev]

Hi Kevin,
Same situation for our Go compiler (gollvm). We also use explicit checks
for division by zero, and I can't envision a need to have more fine-grained
control over rounding/exception-mode for fadd etc.
Cheers, Than
