For 22 <math.h> functions that ought to take 'float' arguments and return a 'float' result, MSVC 9 only provides a macro definition. This is not POSIX compliant, see POSIX:2008 / System Interfaces / General Information / Use and Implementation of Interfaces <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/V2_chap02.html> section 2.1.1, point 2.
For 'floorf' and 'ceilf', gnulib already fixes this. But not for the 20 others. Let me handle them one by one. Here's the module for 'fabsf'. 2011-10-05 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> New module 'fabsf'. * lib/math.in.h (fabsf): New declaration. * lib/fabsf.c: New file. * m4/fabsf.m4: New file. * m4/math_h.m4 (gl_MATH_H_DEFAULTS): Initialize GNULIB_FABSF, HAVE_FABSF. * modules/math (Makefile.am): Substitute GNULIB_FABSF, HAVE_FABSF. * modules/fabsf: New file. * tests/test-math-c++.cc: Check the declaration of fabsf. * doc/posix-functions/fabsf.texi: Mention the new module. ================================= lib/fabsf.c ================================= /* Absolute value.
