Bonjour
As of tonight and for about a month (Hurray!!!) I will be on
vacation, and for the most part totally offline. So as not to possibly
delay the 1.33 release, I state here clearly that anybody is welcome to
check-in any (useful) change to the libraries I maintain (Quaternions,
Octonions & Special Functions).
As far as these libraries stand today, for the platforms that are
taken into account for the release, no outstanding problem seem to
remain (either the platform passes or is marked as an expected failure).
There remains a vexing point with respect to some platforms (notably 64
bits platforms) where the libraries fail because of "long double"
issues. I believe these are due to a bug (or severe QOI problem) in
libstdc++, but unfortunately so far no progress seems to have been made
to solve the problem if indeed libstdc++ is the culprit, and I am loath
to mark these platforms as expected failures (heck, one of them I my
development system!). I propose we leave these as they stand now, and
re-investigate after the release.
Merci et bonnes vacances!
Hubert Holin
