<div class="paragraph"><p>The <a href="StandardML">Standard ML</a> Basis Library is a collection of modules
dealing with basic types, input/output, OS interfaces, and simple
datatypes. It is intended as a portable library usable across all
implementations of SML. For the official online version of the Basis
Library specification, see <a href="http://www.standardml.org/Basis">http://www.standardml.org/Basis</a>.
<a href="References#GansnerReppy04"> The Standard ML Basis Library</a> is a book
version that includes all of the online version and more. For a
reverse chronological list of changes to the specification, see
<a href="http://www.standardml.org/Basis/history.html">http://www.standardml.org/Basis/history.html</a>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>MLton implements all of the required portions of the Basis Library.
MLton also implements many of the optional structures. You can obtain
a complete and current list of what’s available using
<span class="monospaced">mlton -show-basis</span> (see <a href="ShowBasis">ShowBasis</a>). By default, MLton makes the
Basis Library available to user programs. You can also

The Basis Library specification requires functions like
<span class="monospaced">Socket.sendVec</span> to raise an exception if they fail. However, on some
platforms, sending to a socket that hasn’t yet been connected causes a
<span class="monospaced">SIGPIPE</span> signal, which invokes the default signal handler for
<span class="monospaced">SIGPIPE</span> and causes the program to terminate. If you want the
exception to be raised, you can ignore <span class="monospaced">SIGPIPE</span> by adding the
following to your program.

using the <span class="monospaced">C</span> math library, so the SML functions will reflect the
behavior of the underlying library function. We have made some effort
to unify the differences between the math libraries on different
platforms, and in particular to handle exceptional cases according to
the Basis Library specification. However, there will be differences
due to different numerical algorithms and cases we may have missed.
Please submit a <a href="Bug">bug report</a> if you encounter an error in
the handling of an exceptional case.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>On x86, real arithmetic is implemented internally using 80 bits of
precision. Using higher precision for intermediate results in
computations can lead to different results than if all the computation
is done at 32 or 64 bits. If you require strict IEEE compliance, you
can compile with <span class="monospaced">-ieee-fp true</span>, which will cause intermediate
results to be stored after each operation. This may cause a
substantial performance penalty.</p></div>
