Is it really not possible to guarantee the same floating point behavior across different CPUs? I was under the impression that compilers had flags for that kind of thing.

I am not the expert but looks like there are some answers (atq2119 and newpavlov) under this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28901751

tldr: it is hard. I was wrong by saying it is "not possible". But I wonder if it is possible if your target platform includes various consoles?
