Hi, I have curious bug with gcc and the option -pedantic. I want to use the value INFINITY defined in math.h. Here is a sample code : ==== test.cpp ==== #include <cmath> #include <iostream> This code compiles well without the option -pedantic but I want to use the option -pedantic. I want to be sure my code will compile on any platform with gcc. I know that INFINITY is equal to 1e50f and 1e50f is greater than FLT_MAX. The option -pedantic raise this error : floating constant exceeds range of 'float'. Why I cannot use INFINITY with the option -pedantic? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
