This seems to be related to the problem with FLT_EPSILON being undefined in some
places and <float.h> being "missing" sometimes.
Dunno if anyone can shed any light on this - but indeed, the classic C header
"/usr/include/float.h" is not present under my SuSE 6.4 system...and none of
the other headers in /usr/include or and of it's subdirectories seem to have
a definition for FLT_MAX.
In desperation, I wrote:
#include <math.h>
float x = FLT_MAX ;
...and ran:
% cpp test.c
...which suggested that the definition of FLT_MAX was in
"/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/2.95.2/include/float.h"
A SuSE specific directory?!? Yuck!
Can *anyone* tell me why this might be fouling up under
Mandrake 7.1?
The first couple of lines of /usr/include/plib/sg.h are:
#include <limits.h>
#include <math.h>
I've had to avoif doing a:
#include <float.h>
...under Linux *because* that file has ceased to exist in the 'normal' places.
My head hurts...somebody make it stop!
There must be some weird kind of magic going on inside the compiler
somewhere.
