Unfortunately the output of these tests is a bit poor, since it doesn't display the parameters causing the failure. I suppose that, since the overflow test fails on non-double floating-point formats, the same problem must happen for the test_float test.

Is there any difference in the way AmigaOS deals with floating-point computations with respect to other PowerPC operating systems like Darwin or OSX?

I don't have a machine that can run Darwin and I haven't used OSX. However, I do know a couple of things about AmigaOS math support: 1. math exceptions such as divide by zero are simply ignored 2. the underlying C library is custom made 3. the C++ library is the one that comes with GCC 3.4.4 I'm suspecting there may be a bug in the C99 library at this point. Since the C library is open source, you can look for yourself at http://sourceforge.net/projects/clib2/ What I'm wondering now is what math functions the failed tests are executing from the C library? Perhaps there is a boundary condition that a math function is not handling correctly or something. Since these tests don't fail on another PowerPC based system I think the problem lies with my platform but I need help narrowing it down a bit more. Thanks! --Steven
