The use of x87 fp does not cause loss of precision. On the countrary! |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I suggest a few minor changes, looks good otherwise.
Regarding MSVC, I believe it does the reasonable thing by default so no further action is required.

OK makes sense. The "compares savefiles directly" explains it. |
Both GCC and Clang use x87 instructions by default on 32-bit x86 targets, but the loss of precision resulting from that has yielded crashing tests (see referenced issue), and it can be safely assumed there are very few CPUs that both don't support SSE2 and are expected to run SolveSpace This commit also removes a now-redundant check for 32-bit Windows against TARGET, which doesn't seem to be actually set by CMake at all Ref: solvespace#565

Just GCC and Clang, I don't have a way to test MSVC behaviour.
