Actually.. That's where the bug was! :-) strtod (by ANSI C99) should handle Infinity and NaN. The problem is the #ifdef on lines 268-273: #ifdef KISSME_LINUX_USER val = strtod (p, &endptr); #else val = _strtod_r (&reent, p, &endptr); #endif The former calls the standard library strtod function, the latter calls the included fdlibm function. This appears to be an redundant construct. I don't quite see the reason here for using the fdlibm strtod. So the fix for this would be to just replace this with: val = strtod (p, &endptr); This works. Of course, this might not work on every C compiler. But it does work with gcc. /Sven _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
