Would you know if this is also a problem for the Flpxxxx() routines, that is
something along the lines of:
FlpDouble a, b;
_d_div (a, b);
I would try it myself but haven't downloaded the CW 5.1.

Subject: Serious brand-new FP bug in CW 5.1
This code:
double dTemp;
dTemp = 10000.0/207.0;
actually assigns the value of .0207 to dTemp. What's wrong with that? Well
look again, the stupid compiler REVERSED the operator order! Instead of
dividing 10000 by 207 it divided 207 by 10000!
This is 100% reproducable for me in multiple projects using both the PalmOS
FP library and the linkable library (which shouldn't make a difference
anyway). This has only been tried under CW 5.1 for Windows. Same stuff
worked great under CW 5.0 for Windows. I've also tried no optimizations as
well as maximum optimizations, no difference.
And in case you're curious in Codewarrior (207.0/10000.0) = 48.x!
I haven't played around to see if this applies to anything other than
doubles since CW 5.1 has already wasted an entire day debugging. Grrrr....
