I'll try and get it fixed, but unfortunately I managed to kill the compiler on the only machine I have handy that does long doubles (Screwed up the headers on my RedRat 6.2 system somehow--if someone knows about fixing this sort of stuff, drop me a line off-list) so it might be a little while.On Sat, 23 Nov 2002, David Robins wrote:When's the long double "KNOWN ISSUE" going to be fixed? What's the work around, just to build a perl with NV==double? I've looked around, can't find anything about it except in KNOWN_ISSUES (only match in RT is "Parrot_sprintf-related stuff"). Scan of the archives turns up nothing.It's (at least partly) a packfile alignment thing. I think if you look in the packfile.c sources you'll find some more comments about it. (Search for problem spots marked with "XXX".) Also, if you look in the archives back in Februrary 2002 or so, I think I posted something about the "padding of FLOATVALs in CONSTANT section of bytecode". This, of course, doesn't answer your question about when it's going to be fixed :-).
