[comp.sys.acorn] C version 3 compiler

vanaards%t7@uk.ac.man.cs (12/14/90)

  Has anyone experienced problems with the redirection facility offered by
version 3 of Acorns C compiler ? Specifically when I tried using << with 
some compiled C programs I got a load of gibberish ! (OK I know its not
supported but even with < I had the same result !)

 I'd like to point out that the version of sml available from the Newcastle
MR Server, doesn't exactly work - specifcally if you try something silly 
such as 0.0/0.0; it results in a floating point exception. I believe that
this is a bug in the Acorn C LIBRARY - as an aside, Huw Rogers (rogersh -
nethack, etc...) has rewritten the C Library routines, with porting UNIX
applications in mind - apparently his signal/exception routines work - and
I've certainly found it easier to port one or two items.
