I can't see what I am doing wrong here.
gcc seems to be parsing floating point numbers
incorrectly.
Look at the following two lines and what happens when I
compile and run them :
--------------------
#include <stdio.h>
void main() { printf (" 0.0 is %f and 0. is %f\n", 0.0, 0.); }
% cc -o float float.c ; float
0.0 is -1.000000 and 0. is 0.000000
--------------------
Am I doing something terribly wrong ? Don't think so.
I kept stumbling into badly initialised variables while
working on another package.
I am more confused since gcc 1.xx doesn't have this
problem on other machines.
Any comments ?
-Andrew
