Just that the problem should be considered as a bug, and not a bug in the users' code (for some of them), nor a bug in x86 (a bad design if you want). > I have re-closed PR323 now as SUSPENDED instead of INVALID because I find Thank you very much. Note that you're "re-closed" is incorrect because a SUSPENDED bug is still open (but suspended); look at bugzilla's documentation... This is important for the above reasons and also because users will be able to see this bug when searching on bugzilla (let's hope that this will reduce future duplicates). > the messages from Jim Wilson, that Gaby pointed us to, convincing > enough to admit that the problem is _also_ with gcc and not just > with the x87 hardware.

Well, there have been many useful comments in PR323 and duplicates, but have always been ignored. > But I'm fed up with the way you're participating in this discussion.

The bug shouldn't be marked as INVALID, and there shouldn't be patches as long as it is marked as INVALID. That's what I meant. > So by all means, pretty _please_, get your story consistent or quit > arguing. And frankly, I _do_ expect a patch from you, now that PR323 > is no longer marked invalid.

Now, *if* I write a patch (fixing the bug in some way), will it be accepted, even if people don't like it? (If they don't like it, they could write a better patch after all.) -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
