Without them, innocent programs can generate compiler warnings. Use the following code, compiled with -Wall, to demonstrate this: #include <stdio.h> #include <float.h> void main(void) { /* These next two lines both generate this message: * warning: missing braces around initializer for * `(anonymous).__convert_long_double_i' */ printf("long double minimum = %Le\n", LDBL_MIN); printf("long double maximum = %Le\n", LDBL_MAX); } This is probably something for the upstream maintainer. -- System Information Debian Release: 1.2 Kernel Version: Linux apocalypse 2.0.20 #1 Sat Sep 14 04:03:34 EST 1996 i486 Versions of the packages this package depends on: libc5 Version: 5.4.13-1 -- bug report generated by the debmake bug tool -- "If a man ate a pound of pasta and a pound of | G.
