The only way to implement nextafter that I know of requires to know the exact representation of the floating point number, and long double is unfortunately platform dependent. What is the long double format on solaris sparc ? (big endian I suppose, but how many bits for the mantissa and exponent ? Does it follow IEER754 ?) cheers, David _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
