But you have it spelled out way across my editor. Just .. curious here.
I'm also curious about this, it is causing problems for Visual Studio 2012
and 2013 CI on appveyor [1]:
C:\projects\curl\tests\libtest\lib557.c(1632): fatal error C1064: compiler
limit : token overflowed internal buffer
[C:\projects\curl\build.msvc2012\tests\libtest\lib557.vcxproj]
Haha.
I just happened to get that value as part of a conversation and
since I didn't want to add a dependency on float.h and risk a portability
problem with systems using different values or whatever, I simply added the
define there.
I suppose using 1.7976931348623157081452E+308 causes less friction. Doesn't
it?
Other VS versions it seems to be ok. Also that file has a number a few
issues caught by checksrc.bat but not regular checksrc. Is it supposed to
check that file?
Oh. If I run 'make checksrc' I get those warnings too. But not when I build
regularly or build in tests (which is my regular method to see those
warnings). I'll look into fixing this.
