- Just thought I would inject some personal experience on a Y-MP (Unicos 6.1).
- I have an application with mixed C and FORTRAN. I needed some constants
- such as min/max float values and found them in a C include file. I then
- copied these numbers into a FORTRAN routine, compiled, and got out-of-range
- compiler errors. Doing the same thing in C worked OK.
-
- I still do not have an explination from Cray why this happened.
