-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I've tried the example ieeeround.c from the GSL reference manual on an x86_64 system and find that setting the GSL_IEEE_MODE environment variable does not have any effect at all. E.g. export GSL_IEEE_MODE="round-up" does not yield a divergent series as described in the manual. For x86 and IA64 things are OK, however. The effect seems to be limited to Opteron and EM64T type systems, using 64 bit libraries. Is this a known effect? Do these systems not conform to IEEE? Normally, if a feature isn't supported, the error handler should be invoked, but this does not happen. I've tried with SLES9 and SUSE10.0 based systems.
