Complex floating point support for ksh93... that's why "typeset" reserves the "-c/-C" options (erm, before anyone starts ranting about code size... this will re-use the existing floating-point support infrastructure and AFAIK the additions will be below 8k in code size including the additional math function glue (which make the bulk of the codesize right now)). > I have a hard time imagining any code in ON that would realistically > need it. Not within OS/Net - but remember that scripting languages like perl, python, ksh etc. are used for some scientific work and/or code prototyping. For the same reason all the C99 math functions have been squished into ksh93 in the version 's' development cycle... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
