Hi,
I have one more remaining "problem" with compiling a unix source code for
windows/visual c/c++ 6.0
What does the isnan routine do ?
Documentation says it checks for NaN ? What does that mean ?
What is a good replacement for Visual C/C++ 6.0 ?
Bye,
Skybuck

As I understand it:
The IEEE 754-1985 standard defines ways of representing floating point
values as binary numbers. One bit-pattern called NaN ("not a number") is a
special case; it is used to represent values that don't have a valid
representation in the IEEE format (for example, square root of a negative
number).
Many (but not all) implementations of C abide by the IEEE standard for
representing floating point numbers.
The Single Unix Specification defines the C function isnan. You pass it a
double, and it tells you if the value is NaN (i.e., it returns a nonzero
value if the parameter is NaN, 0 if it is not). (For systems that have the
isnan function but don't support NaN values, isnan always returns 0.)
What is a good replacement for Visual C/C++ 6.0 ?
The Microsoft C library seems to have a function called _isnan (note the
leading underscore) that works like the Unix function isnan. However, it is
declared in the header <float.h> instead of <math.h>.
Anyway, that's my understanding. I'm not an expert on these issues. IEEE
754-1985, the Single Unix Specification, and Microsoft C implementation are
off-topic for this newsgroup. See the welcome message: http://www.angelfire.com/ms3/bchambl...me_to_clc.html
If you want more information, you'd be better off directing your queries to
another newsgroup.

More on-topic, C99 defines a macro with that name, with the expected
semantics. This may not be useful for VC 6.0.

In C99, the isnan() macro, defined in <math.h>, is nonzero if its
argument is a NaN (not-a-number).
Floating-point numbers can be classified into one of the following
categories: normal nonzero numbers, subnormal nonzero numbers, zero,
infinity, and not-a-numbers (bit sequences that do not represent any
number).
One way of representing the macro in C99 is:
#define isnan(_X) (fpclassify(_X) ==FP_NAN)
It would be nice if M$ provided a C99-compatible <math.h> that had a
C99-compatible fpclassify() macro and FP_NAN for the above to make
sense.

Try "_isnan" function declared in <float.h>

C/C++ interpreter Ch has a good support for C99 complex, IEEE-754
floating-point arithmetic, generic mathematical functions, VLA etc.
It works in windows, linux, solaris, HP-UX, MacOSX and FreeBSD.
You can google search to find it.

Hello,
I am currently messing around with some sample code I found
It is about linking VB and CPP through DLL's
http://www.flipcode.com/articles/article_vbdlls.shtml
There is a string embaded in a strunct.
There is a function in a DLL that takes this struct.
This struct comes from a Visual Basic application.
My code changes this string.

Hi. I'm doing some speed optimization on my Visual C++ program. I'm using

only returns current time to a millisecond accuracy. I've gotten to the

Many unix platforms have a function gettimeofday() which has microsecond
accuracy, but this function is not available on Windows, apparently.

i wanne use gsl under windows (visual c++, mex (matlab)). when i try to

undefined reference.
so, is there anynody with experience using gsl under windows (perhaps matlab

think that's my problem or perhaps path-declaration.?) did you have another

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
