Re: decimal round off issue


Quoth "Peter J. Holzer" <hjp-usenet2@xxxxxx>:

Is there a "standard" C library on Windows which gcc has to use or does
it use the glibc? I suspect it's the former (I've seen similar results
with Microsofts C compiler).

Huh? glibc is Linux- (well, and Hurd-) only. gcc on Win32 uses
MSVCRT.DLL, which used to be part of MSVC6 and nowadays is part of
Windows, or Internet Explorer, or something. Later versions of MSVC
insist on using their own versions of the C library, which cause
Interesting problems if you have a DLL compiled against one loaded into
an EXE compiled against another. (This is one reason why it's
particularly important to compile modules with the correct compiler on
Win32.)
