Re: [9fans] 5i floating point?
They do different things. the ?i series is mainly intended to debug and improve the compilers: it emulates only so much of the architecture and system, enough to get the compiler and libc going. 5e's a nice bit of work (except for the limitation to little-endian host). the emulation of /proc was interesting. 5e is more useful if you're trying to debug an arm program on an Intel, hence the interest in emulating system calls. it's probably not as useful for compiler debugging. when debugging the compilers it's convenient to run 5i with $ti :r and just let it go, rather than interacting with it by setting breakpoints etc through /proc.

Ok, linking gives: main: undefined: ainc in main Looks to be a function (which also seems to be undeclared in 5e.c), anybody know where it is located? -- Greg Comeau / 4.3.10.1 with C++0xisms now in beta!
