2007-08-24 Thread Christopher Faylor
I've installed mutt-1.4.2.2 on sourceware. This version seems to fix the problems that were reported with FAT32 filesystems and it uses the shared version of libiconv which reduces the size of mutt.exe dramatically. I'd appreciate feedback to the mailing list to confirm that this version fixes th

I have just made a patch. The code in lroundf() was making a comparison between an int and a calculation using sizeof. This ended up being an unsigned comparison and in this case, the int value was < 1. -- Jeff J. Dave Korn wrote: On 24 August 2007 17:16, François-Xavier Coudert wrote: Hi

Hi, with pleasure I use Cygwin. Thanks a lot to all developers who make this great package possible! It makes WinNT usable. :-) I use a WinNT (5.x) PC with the the current Cygwin's old rsync version 2.6.6 to sync files with a Linux PC which uses the newer version 2.6.9 of rsync. (Btw. I'm lookin

Problem with lroundf()

2007-08-24 Thread François-Xavier Coudert
Hi all, I think the following exhibits a bug in the lroundf() routine: $ cat a.c #include #include int main (void) { printf ("%d\n", (int) lroundf(0.7)); } $ gcc a.c && ./a.exe 0 The result of lroundf(0.7) should be 1, not 0. If lround() is used instead of lroundf(), then it's working OK.
