Message-ID: <BwtuJM.8sv@news.chalmers.se> Date: 28 Oct 92 10:30:57 GMT Sender: news@news.chalmers.se Organization: Chalmers University of Technology Lines: 14 Nntp-Posting-Host: theta.me.chalmers.se I noticed that the value of the HUGE and HUGE_VAL constants in /usr/include/math.h returns an error in compilation. When any program use the HUGE or HUGE_VAL constant it stops to compile an yells about to big numerical value. I discovered this when porting Utah Raster Toolit to 386bsd. After a dirty fix, merely a workaround, i got urt up and running. Have anyone else discovered something regarding this seldom used constant. Is it a bug? If so, is it corrected in the coming 0.2 version of 386bsd. Dan Andersson
