Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7
Severity: important
Hi,
math.h has the following in it:
/* Bitmasks for the math_errhandling macro. */
# define MATH_ERRNO 1 /* errno set by math functions. */
# define MATH_ERREXCEPT 2 /* Exceptions raised by math functions.
*/
but no-where is math_errhandling actually defined! This breaks code
wanting to check how domain errors in floating-point code are handled
(amongst other things). Section 7.12.9 of C99 discusses MATH_ERRNO,
MATH_ERREXCEPT, and math_errhandling.
SuSv3 also requires math_errhandling to be present:

Matthew

This bug has been reported against an ancient version of
gpc (4.1), gcc/g++/gfortran (4.3), or gcj/gij/gobjc (4.4), that was last
released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze). But even squeeze-lts has now reached
end-of-life and is no longer supported.
The bug is assumed to be fixed (or no longer relevant) in newer GCC
releases and therefore I'm closing this report now. If the problem is
still reproducible in the currently supported versions (gcc-5, gcc-6 or
corresponding g++/gcj), feel free to provide more information, reopen
and reassign this bug report.
Andreas
