Q: fp problems with glibc on debian arm
Hi there,
I have installed a debian ARM distribution (2.2 potato)
on my arm sa1100 board.
Seems to run as far. But I have a problem with the glibc
which is included in the distribution.
The function atof does not work!
A small test program containing the following lines:
value = atof("1.0");
printf("atof: str \"1.0\" --> value %f\n", value);
value = atof("-1.0");
printf("atof: str \"-1.0\" --> value %f\n", value);
writes:
atof: str "1.0" --> value -1.998966
atof: str "-1.0" --> value -1.998966
instead of:
atof: str "1.0" --> value 1.000000
atof: str "-1.0" --> value -1.000000
Does anyone know what is wrong here? Is there a configuration
fault in my system? or do I have to recompile the glibc and
substitute the one of the distribution?
Thanks in advance for any hint
Greetings
