The LDBL_MAX of long double is machine-dependent, but why it like this
in same machine? I guess it's the problem with MinGW. Anyone hv any
idea?

No LDBL_MAX is implementation-dependent. That "implementation" is your
compiler, which may choose LDBL_MAX to be something completely
counter-intuitive if your intuition is based on the machine data
representation.

ok, got ur idea. thx :-)
