I can try and supply text describing what happens on the Windows platform (that would be merely a matter of writing a small program and checking the effects). Things regarding floating-point and distributing an application are slightly tougher, as they probably involve the properties of the various platforms.

--- Comment #1 from domob at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-09-21 10:27 --- Hi, thanks for having a look at the manual! This is surely greatly appreciated! (In reply to comment #0) > General remarks > --- > 1. Section on distributing programs is missing: >What is needed if you have created a product to distribute it to >customers? (Either with or without sources) > 2. Section on floating-point issues is missing: >How do the compile options influence the floating-point behaviour? >What is the treatment of special values such as Inf and Nan? >What happens with atan2(0,0)? > 3. POSIX-type extensions in the language reference: >No particular information is given how the various functions >(SYMLNK for instance or STAT) work (or do not work) on a non-POSIX >system like MS Windows. All of those sound good to me (haven't read through your specific remarks, but those are most probably 'obvious' and ok as well). I'll confirm this PR. I'm sure both a patch fixing the missing/superfluous words (or a set of patches to split it up to managable sizes) and patches to add the new documentation mentioned above will be very welcomed. If you need assistance in figuring out the information needed, just ask at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and someone will hopefully help :) -- domob at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What|Removed |Added Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever Confirmed|0 |1 Last reconfirmed|-00-00 00:00:00 |2008-09-21 10:27:21 date|| http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37605
