I'm not sure why this value is chosen Ah, I knew I had something to do with this long double choice but had forgotten the exact reason. See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2005-09/msg00556.html. huge() has nothing to do with the maximum value for a machine representable number. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
