Hi! Some recent ports that I did, crashed with "Floating Point Exceptions" in totally inconspicious looking routines (aren't they all? :-). This made me mistrust the FP math lib on our machines. Now I want to test them, and for this I'm looking for a program that does exactly that - test 'em. Pass funny values to tri-gon. routines and such, just generally pushes them to the edge and tells me when the routine can't handle the arguments. oh, BTW, I'd also welcome hints on work-arounds for infamous FP bugs, as long as they don't require a new math-lib. Ours uses the FPU and understandably I wouldn't like to give up that speed. Thanks in advance.
