Well, I didn't quite believe it, but I made this test file and sure enough,
the printf doesn't print out anything that even looks like it approximates
PI.
----- to cut ----- or not to cut -----
main()
{
float f;
char *string = "3.1415926";
f = atof( string );
printf( "pi = %f\n", f );
}
----- be it here ----- or there -----
The output to this program was:
D:\ -> test
-8209.00000
and I compiled it with:
D:\ -> tcc test
I'm not particularly worried about this bug, but I figured I might as well
post the program.
Enjoy,
Keith.
