On that platform, 'long double' and 'double' are identical types. The test ends up calling sprintf(tmp, "%Ld", -0.0L), but the system sprintf does not know how to print -0, so the result is 0.000000 and lacks -. Does it make more sense to adjust the existing gl_PRINTF_INFINITE_LONG_DOUBLE (which also tests for NaN) to add a test for negative zero, or to add a new macro gl_PRINTF_ZERO_LONG_DOUBLE? I can probably do most of the work, since I can test it on the Irix box, but would like to make sure that I'm meeting your preferred style. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
