<pre>Description:
calc doe's some 'tie to zero' rounding, acc. @erAck intended for integer values
but imho affecting all calculations,
this rounding sometimes has evil effects, e.g.
'=(2^53+31-2^53)+(2^53-31-2^53)+(2^53+31-2^53)+(2^53-31-2^53)' should
mathematical result in '0' (the subterms in brackets cancel each other out),
'fp-math' calculates '2' because above 2^53 IEEE 754 is limited to the 'even
integers' and some small rounding steps in, calc calculates '64' reg.
unneccessary rough rounding and either different effect of it below and above a
magnitude range border (2^53), or different effect for '+' vs. '-',
Steps to Reproduce:
1. calculate '=(2^53+31-2^53)+(2^53-31-2^53)+(2^53+31-2^53)+(2^53-31-2^53)'
2.
3.
Actual Results:
64
Expected Results:
'0' or maximal tolerable '2',
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
