[comp.bugs.sys5] bug in cpp in SV/363 r3.2 and older

dave@micropen (David F. Carlson) (08/09/89)

For the following program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <nan.h>

float g = 1.0;

main()
{
fprintf(stderr,"I'm OK = %d.\n", IsNANorINF(g));
}

Firstly, required define _IEEE is missing from cpp(1).
Secondly, putting a #define _IEEE before the include of <nan.h>
above will cause cpp to barf on the next line of the file nan.h
after the #if _IEEE.  However, -D_IEEE on the command line will 
cause the file to parse and compile and execute correctly.

This is true under ESIX 3.2 and Microport 3.0e.
