- Hi,
- I was messing around with locale.h and localeconv() does not
- appear to be in libc.a (or in any other .a file). I'm using the
- MCC 0.96c version if this is of any help. It is an ANSI function.
-
- Also I ran paranoia on Linux last night (it stresses the darker
- corner of maths implementations). There were two things it found.
- 1. (-0.0-----0e00) ^ (0.0-----0e00)
- yielded 0.0.....0e00 and not 1.0.....0e00
-
- 2. (2.0------0e00) ^ (1.0-----0e00)
- yielded 1.9-----9e00 and not 2.0-----0e00
- (important in financial calculations apparantly).
-
- Keep up the great work.
- JJ
