Re: [Bug-apl] Does not build on powerpc platforms (or anything with ldbl range == dbl range)

Hi Daniel, thanks, fixed in SVN 1177. Best regards, Jürgen On 6/25/19 2:10 AM, Daniel Kolesa wrote: Since after 1.7 the src/Tokenizer.cc code has been changed to use precomputed tables for exponent, but now the compilation fails with Tokenizer.cc:769:4: error: floating constant exceeds range of 'long double' [-Werror=overflow] exp_0_9(1E30) This is because on powerpc, depending on libc, long double is either "quad precision" double-double format (which has the same range as an ordinary double, just higher precision) or simply the same type as a regular double. Reverting to the older code fixes the problem. - q66
