-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Jim Meyering on 4/12/2008 1:46 AM: | In wading through coreutils build reports for 60+ systems, I see a new failure: | | strtod.c: In function `rpl_strtod': | strtod.c:155: error: incompatible types in assignment | strtod.c:170: error: incompatible types in assignment | strtod.c:257: error: wrong type argument to unary minus | make[3]: *** [strtod.o] Error 1
You're not the first to report it: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2008-04/msg00034.html | | Here are the lines in question, each followed by cpp-translated code: | | num = HUGE_VAL; | num = __builtin_huge_val; | | num = NAN; | num = __builtin_nan; However, you were the first to provide the information I asked for when the problem was first mentioned. So, what types exactly are __builtin_nan and __builtin_huge_val on Solaris 10 (NAN is supposed to be float, and while HUGE_VAL is supposed to be double, I suspect __builtin_huge_val might be float to feed all four of HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, HUGE_VALL, and INFINITY)? Does adding an explicit cast work around the compiler bug of warning about what is supposed to be a safe implicit cast? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
