While installing perl on Digital UNIX V4.0B (Rev. 564); Sat Aug 1 13:42:30 EDT 1998
the following errors were encountered...
first\, this...
`sh cflags libperl.so util.o` util.c
CCCMD = cc -DPERL_CORE -c -std -fprm d -ieee -D_INTRINSICS -I/usr/loc
al/include -DLANGUAGE_C -O4
cc: Warning: util.c\, line 2856: In this statement\, a floating point error occurs
in evaluating the expression "1.8e308".
return HUGE_VAL;
--------^
then this...
cc -c -std -fprm d -ieee -D_INTRINSICS -I/usr/local/include -DLANGUAGE_C -O4
-DVERSION=\"1.02\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.02\" -I../.. POSIX.c
cc: Warning: POSIX.xs\, line 352: Type long double has the same representation as
type double on this platform.
long double
^
cc: Warning: POSIX.xs\, line 1315: In this statement\, a floating point error occu
rs in evaluating the expression "1.8e308".
return HUGE_VAL;
-------------------^
no other notable errors\, and perl seems to run fine\, but haven't tested any floating point code (yet). will send new bug report if anything else shows up.
anything to worry about? anything to try?
