This would be a good idea. Can you write it so that it augments <math.h>, like we do for <fcntl.h> or <sys/stat.h>? If you're at it, you can also contribute the complete set of rounding functions from ISO C 99 7.12.9: ceil, floor, nearbyint, rint, lrint, llrint, round, lround, llround, trunc. Can substitutes in gnulib assume that the 'double' format is IEEE 754 (it is on all modern platforms; VAX was the last one with other formats) ? Or should they be written in a slower, but more portable way? Bruno
