More precisely, it occurs for floating-point data formats in which the most significant mantissa bit is not "hidden". - It does not occur with IEEE 754 'float', 'double'. - It occurs with the 80-bit 'long double' on i386, x86_64, ia64. - It does not occur with the 128-bit 'long double' on ia64/HP-UX.
