this library. It is not comprehensive and updated experiences are always welcome.

Some effort has been made to suppress unhelpful warnings but it is difficult

</p>

<p>

Long double support has been disabled because the native long double

C standard library functions really only forward to the double versions.

This can result in unpredictable behaviour when using the long double
|
|
overloads: for example <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">sqrtl</span></code>
|
|
applied to a finite value, can result in an infinite result.

Some functions still fail to compile, there are no known workarounds

at present.

Long double support has been disabled with these compiler releases
|
|
because calling the standard library long double math functions can
|
|
result in a segfault. The issue is Linux distribution and glibc version
|
|
specific and is Intel bug report #409291. Fully up to date releases
|
|
of Intel 9.1 (post version l_cc_c_9.1.046) shouldn't have this problem.
|
|
If you need long double support with this compiler, then comment
|
|
out the define of BOOST_MATH_NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_FUNCTIONS at line
|
|
55 of <a href="../../../../../boost/math/tools/config.hpp" target="_top">boost/math/tools/config.hpp</a>.

Long double support has been disabled on this platform due to the

rather strange nature of Darwin's 106-bit long double implementation.

It should be possible to make this work if someone is prepared to

offer assistance.

|
from the failing tests and make a judgement as to whether the error rates are
|
|
acceptable or not.
