Paul,
The system I use is the following:
SunOS gradlab.ucsd.edu 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
The compiler is CC:
CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C++ 5.2 2000/09/11
It barked about a badly formed expression on line 71. I have changed
it:
From:
long double two = long double(2.L);
To:
long double two = (long double)(2.L);
This compiled and produced the following output:
--------------------------------------------------
long double_significant_digits 36
std::numeric_limits<long double>::digits = 113
pi_l = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028
pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028
pi_u = 3.14159265358979323846264338327950318
middle is lower limit.
--------------------------------------------------
If you want to have some additional tests compiled and run, send your
sources to me.
Leo.
