Follow-up Comment #24, bug #40607 (project octave):
Other parts of Octave can change the floating point registers, we had that
problem with Java previously and Mike Miller fixed it. I think his solution
was the same as what you are suggesting for [u]int64, save and restore FP
flags, before and after every operation.
We could always benchmark the anticipated slowdown and see how bad it is. My
guess is that lots of the time people use uint32 or below so some potential
slowdown might be acceptable.
