Comment:
My guess is you've been building with gcc. There's a 4 year old note in
the solaris hints file:
{{{
# Parrot usually aims for IEEE-754 compliance.
# For Solaris 8/Sun Workshop Pro 4, both
# atan2( 0.0, -0.0) and atan2(-0.0, -0.0)
# return 0, when they should return +PI and -PI respectively.
# For Sun's compilers, fix this with the -xlibmieee flag.
# I don't know of an equivalent flag for gcc.
# (Alternatively, and more generally, perhaps we should run an
# ieee-conformance test and then call back into a hints-file trigger
# to set platform-specific flags.)
# A. Dougherty 7 March 2005
}}}
AFAICT, nothing has changed in that regard. I sure couldn't figure out
what -xlibmieee is doing differently, nor was I able to find any hint or
web page on how to get the same effect with gcc. Any help would be
appreciated.
BTW, there's also
[http://rt.perl.org/rt3//Public/Bug/Display.html?id=34549 RT #34549]
describing the same problem for a couple of platforms, although I believe
Solaris is the last holdout.
