Hi folks, I'm looking for an explanation of a difference I've found between NetBSD and FreeBSD in the handling of arithmetic overflow in typecasting. The following code, compiled on a stock FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT machine cores on SIGFPE. On a NetBSD 1.4.1 machine (gcc-2.91.60), the program prints the value of INT_MAX. int main(void) { double x; int i; x = 1e19; i = (int)x; printf("%d\n", i); return 0; } So can anyone explain the cause of this difference to me? :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
