Once more - troubles with a floating point using latest cygwinb19.dll... Would you like to send me current newlib sources to check with? ---------- From: Siegbert Schmid Sent: Saturday, June 20, 1998 18:23 To: sos AT prospect DOT com DOT ru Subject: bug in cygwinb19.dll (ver. 19.3)? Hallo Sergey, I work with cygwin32 and your patches for several years on WinNT. Most often I use bash and gawk, as a physicist most time I handle megabytes of figures. Last week I had to run a awk-script on really a lot of data, it seemed to work fine but did not. The output-file (a huge matrix of floating points) had wrong signs in it. I used this awk-script before (may 98) without any problems. The problem could be reproduced many times, the wrong signs were always at the same places. I believe the problem came with B19.3 and has something to do with print and printf or with doing calculations within a print or printf statement in awk. Using an old cygwinb19.dll (19.1) the problem was solved. Maybe you are interested in this bug, I'm only USING the stuff, no idea to solve such a problem for myself.
