DECIMAL_SLOPPY_RADIUS
Synopsis
#include <flint/decimal.h>DECIMAL_SLOPPY_RADIUSsourceIn the ball ring, bound the rounding error of each midpoint operation by one ulp (half an ulp in the nearest rounding modes) instead of computing a tight upper bound (the exact error rounded up to the radius precision), which is the default. The tight bound costs essentially nothing extra, so this flag is mainly for testing.
