Which 32-bit CUPs currently in wide use support IEEE 754?
Which of those are listed in http://predef.sourceforge.net/prearch.html ?


      Shouldn't you be asking about which CPUs do *not* support IEEE 754?

Alpha. Appendix B of the Alpha Architecture Handbook describes it as a "subset". IIRC, it drops full conformance in favour of performance. Something about not stopping for errors... unsure how it may affect Lua numbers, though, but all the details can be found in the aforementioned appendix B.
