Should every project using llrint add that > workaround? No, Cygwin should be fixed. What part of portable programming don't you get? On platforms where something is lacking, a portable program will use replacement functions to make up for the platform limitations (autoconf is particularly helpful in determining whether a platform has limitations so the replacement is not used on platforms with more features, and gnulib is a good supply of a lot of replacement functions). And what part of open source programming don't you get? If it bugs you, write and submit a patch, so that cygwin WILL have llrint. Cygwin won't have it until someone takes the time to write it. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
