[Mingw-users] long doubles

[Anthony W. <an...@no...>]

I just downloaded the mingw 2.0 runtime and the gcc 3.1 core binaries.
However, using long doubles with g++ produces strange results:

//////////////////////////////
// the program
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    long double ld=1.5;
    std::cout<<ld<<'\n';
}
//////////////////////////
// the output:
-2
//////////////////////

What have I got wrong in my setup?
