The comment and "abort" are fine of course,
but won't the "return 0.0" cause some compilers

Signals. Plain exit() isn't guaranteed to work in a signal handler.
Come to think of it, though, RCS co

This code looks fishy to someone who may not understand the intent of this
definition. How about making it clearer, like this?

Perhaps there is some advantage to _Exit
on non-free platforms but I wouldn't worry about that
unless the topic comes up and you have a good expert
on those platforms available.
Thanks for the explanation. Were it not for just-minted

For RCS, I would think so. _Exit is less portable
and does not provide any advantages on GNU or on
Unix-like platforms (it is functionally eq
