Hello,
I'm trying to compile M4-1.4.19 on macOS, and I ran :
./configure
make
make check
Actually, make check is failing on test-vasprintf-posix.
After investigating, I found that they are 3 tests that are failing, about
pseudo denormal (you can find the four tests by looking for "{ LDBL80_WORDS
(0x0000, 0x83333333, 0x00000000) }".
Only the first one pass, the three next are failing.
First question: are those tests important?
For help with investigation, I found that by replacing 0x83333333
to 0x63333333 will make the tests pass, but I don't know what the impacts
are as I'm absolutely not a C developer.
Note:
After reading here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-m4/2013-06/msg00000.html I also
tried running ./configure gl_cv_func_printf_directive_a=no, but no chance
of making it working.
The only solution I found is by commenting the three last tests
about Pseudo-Denormal directly in tests/test-vasprintf-posix.c
Thanks a lot
