Re^3: POSIX and -Dusequadmath

Nothing in use Config to help you?

As an aside, if you fancy a laugh, enter that constant into Wolfram Alpha and see what happens :)

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Suck that fhit

Nothing in use Config to help you? Nothing there that I could see. enter that constant into Wolfram Alpha and see what happens You've given me a link to an error page. When I go to https://www.wolframalpha.com/ and perform a calculation involving that constant it seems ok. I'm thinking that either you struck some sort of random server error, or I'm being dense. (I reckon it's an even money bet either way ;-) Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Hm. Every time I enter that constant to alpha, whether on its own or as part of a simply sum, the server crashes...but only from my preferred ancient copy of Opera 12.15. I just tried it from Opera 36 (based on the Chrome engine) and it was fine.
