The idea of a WebGL extension that exposes something like:

#pragma ieee_strict_float

was floated by @Oletus on this bug:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=789980#c3
in which the reporter requested the ability to do IEEE floating point math in WebGL (i.e. with IEEE Inf and NaN semantics).

Related issue, in which const and non-const float evaluation differs in those cases:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=772657#c11

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Let's not pursue this for now. No version of ESSL requires IEEE float operations, so it's hard to support.
