Package: gcc-3.3 Version: 1:3.3.2-0pre3 Severity: normal When compiling the following program with gcc -std=c99
#include <math.h> int main (void) { static double x = NAN; return x == 0; } I get: testconstnan.c: In function `main': testconstnan.c:27: error: initializer element is not constant But the ISO C standard says (7.12): [#5] The macro NAN is defined if and only if the implementation supports quiet NaNs for the float type. It expands to a constant expression of type float representing a quiet NaN. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux greux.loria.fr 2.4.20 #2 Mon Mar 31 18:37:25 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 Versions of packages gcc-3.3 depends on: ii binutils 2.14.90.0.6-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii cpp-3.3 1:3.3.2-0pre3 The GNU C preprocessor ii gcc-3.3-base 1:3.3.2-0pre3 The GNU Compiler Collection (base ii libc6 2.3.2-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.3.2-0pre3 GCC support library -- no debconf information
