Earlier this month, I posted an article asking why my c compiler dumps core on a certain program. At the time I typed in the program, I didn't get it right. I got some messages saying that the program ran fine. Here is the original program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <stdio.h> #include <values.h> main() { double d; d = MAXDOUBLE; printf("%E\n",d); -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This program does work as expected. However, the next one doesn't. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <stdio.h> #include <values.h> struct { double min,max; } range = {MINDOUBLE,MAXDOUBLE}; main() { printf("range.min = %E, range.max = %E\n",range.min,range.max); } -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This program causes the cc compiler to dump core. I am using Xenix 2.3.2 with the lng085 update. If anyone can tell me how to fix this problem, I would sure appreciate the help. Terry Klarich <klarich@d.cs.okstate.edu> or <terry@unx.ucc.okstate.edu>
