Hi,

Recently we converted a large project to C++Builder 2006 from 6, and the 
conversion has gone fine and the software works perfectly, except for one 
odd issue.  Sometimes there are odd floating point exceptions in code that 
worked fine with CB6, and isn't code you'd expect to cause an exception.

The specific example I'm trying to figure out at the moment is calling a 
getter method on a class which returns a double:
    double dMax = foo.GetMax();
where GetMax is defined as:
    double FooClass::GetMax() { return m_dMax; }
and using it:
    bar->SetGeometry(dMin, dMax);
will throw an EInvalidOp either in the GetMax method or when entering the 
SetGeometry method before the first line of code is executed.

The value of dMax in this case is very small, but as far as I know that 
shouldn't matter.  No maths is being done with it at this stage, it's just 
being passed around.  So, why is there a EInvalidOp exception?  (And what 
operation would it be in the first place, that's invalid?  Nothing is 
actually being done to it...?)

I've googled for similar problems and found a couple of other people who've 
reported the same thing, again after transitions to 2006 from 6, but no 
answers as to the cause or a solution.  If anyone has any insight, it would 
be much appreciated!

Cheers,

David
