I think that it's pretty typical for programmers to think that something like a standard library function is essentially bug-free - especially for an older language like C. And unless you see results that are clearly wrong or someone else points out the problem, I don't know why you'd ever think that there was one. I certainly had no clue that C implementations had issues with floating point arithmetic before it was pointed out here. Regardless though, it's great that D gets it right. - Jonathan M Davis
