Hello, I found an error in g77 documentation.
Sorry for wrting to this mail address, but I did not find anywhere in the bug reporting documentation how to report a bug on the...documentation itself.... In particular, here: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.2.3/g77/Floating-point-Exception-Handling.html#Floating-point%20Exception%20Handling where it states: "... gcc -o libtrapfpe.a trapfpe.c and then use it by adding -trapfpe to the g77 command line when linking ..." Whe I try it I get /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.3/../../../crt1.o(.text+0x18): In function `_start': : undefined reference to `main' /tmp/ccC12cnM.o(.text+0xc): In function `trapfpe': : undefined reference to `feenableexcept' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status This is due to the fact that gcc does not produce an archive on the fly. One should do: gcc -c trapfpe.c ar rv libtrapfpe.a trapfpe.o Also linking is quoted incorrectly in the documentation. It should at least be "...-ltrapfpe..." ^ If there's a way I can contribute directly to the docs, please let me know. I'd gladly do it, just to give my 2 cents worth to the great GNU project. many thanks and best regards -- Matteo Boschini GPG Key Fingerprint: 63E4 AD0B 6F24 2345 789E 17AA BE94 CC44 CA7D E81E "Pardon our formality: we're computer scientists" (Lutz & Ascher)
