If I can successfully run 'gcc script.c' (where 'script.c' contains a
call
to 'sqrtl') then I'm inclined to say that sqrtl is "available in the C
compiler" (or something like that).
But you can't. That command should fail on Cygwin.
It certainly works for me for 'sqrtl' (but fails for 'frexpl' with
"undefined reference to `_frexpl'"):
--------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/C
$ cat script.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
long double x = sqrtl(7);
printf("%.19Lf\n", x);
return 0;
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/C
$ gcc script.c
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/C
$ ./a.exe
2.6457513110645905904
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/C
--------------------------------------
[Snip - a most helpful explanation of where libc and newlib fit into the
picture, and of other aspects that I was finding confusing. Thanks for that
Brian ... much appreciated.]
Cheers,
Rob
