- What exactly are the correct values for <float.h>?
-
- This problem has come up while attempting to compile gcc-2.3.3 (are
- there any patches out there? I couldn't find any, with my limited
- resources here). It seems that the build proceeds with no problems
- until enquire.c is compiled with the new xgcc. On line 2307, it
- craps out with a `floating point constant out of range'. I haven't
- had too much time to look at any further.
-
- When I tried compiling enquire with the `stock' gcc-1.39, it manages
- to compile properly, but dumps core with a precision exception when
- commencing the double tests. I think it may be my implementation of
- strtod (from the Tcl distribution).
-
- Any suggestions?
-
- Thanks.
