>Description:
summary: I was trying to use a math call to double exp10(double) and am getting some buggy results.
ok.
so i i browsed throught the mathcalls file and found a function exp10 which I wanted to use.
in /usr/include/bits/mathcalls.h :
#ifdef __USE_GNU
/* A function missing in all standards: compute exponent to base ten. */
__MATHCALL (exp10,, (_Mdouble_ __x));
/* Another name occasionally used. */
__MATHCALL (pow10,, (_Mdouble_ __x));
#endif
the program is completely buggy if i don't write my own exp10 function.
>How-To-Repeat:
compile the sources above.
repeat this on running the buggy binary:
> ./a.out
enter lambda in meters in format (num exp)1 0
> >> nu=1.000000e-03 = 1.000000e-03 angstroms
enter lambda in meters in format (num exp)1 1
> >> nu=1.000000e-03 = 1.000000e-03 angstroms
enter lambda in meters in format (num exp)1 6
> >> nu=1.000000e-03 = 1.075247e+06 angstroms
enter lambda in meters in format (num exp)
---note:
i added one debugging line to the my file
(setting nu to a fixed number should produce a constant output after the >>> below) yet i get very unexpected results; the program output is totally unexpected and spurious:
>Fix:
when i define my own exp10 function the program behaves as expected. the test program is attached. I believe this shows some corruption in the call exp10.
