Hi; Due to some initial license restirctions on the OpenSolaris source code, SchilliX did a port of FreeBSD's libm that was adopted by the other OpenSolaris ditributions. BeleniX did some updates recently to make the math lib more compatible with SUN's: http://sarovar.org/projects/belenix/ Moinak Ghosh kindly sent me a small tarball with changes to infinity.c (it's in libc on FreeBSD but in libm on Solaris) and some updates to libm. He also previously mentioned: "I can remember off the top of my head is the addition of isinf* and nan* functions. The nan* functions are wrappers over the strto* functions." These are part of the C99 & POSIX Conformance Project todo list. Unfortunately I won't be able to look at this stuff as my house was broken into and my computer stolen, I sent a copy to das@ and bde@ but if someone is interested in taking over, I'll be glad to send a copy of the BeleniX patches that survived. cheers, Pedro.
