Hello syphilis,
Just a quick update. I went to this site and downloaded the code and successfully compiled using 'make -f Makefile.Linux' on a AMD server running Debian with gcc 4.4.5. It seems to contain the missing functions that you mentioned.
I ran the sample, and it seems to work?????
~/dfpal# ./dfpsample 1.000001 60000
Version of DFPAL: 2.20
DFPAL is operating in software
value of n4 = 9.000000000000000E+384
9E+384 * 9E+384 = Infinity
9E+384 * 9E+384 => Overflow
DFPAL_TRP_INVALID is enabled!
DFPAL_TRP_OVERFLOW is not enabled!
DFPAL_TRP_INVALID is enabled!
sign of n1 0
Zero value = 0
n1 is less than n2
n1 - n2 = -59998.999999
N1 - N2 = -59998.999999
original decimal64 n1=1.000001
minus n1 = -1.000001
It is still Overflow
Now, it is not Overflow
~/dfpal#
Don't know what the sample is supposed to do, so your knowledge of the subject would be greatly appreciated to show some light. At least it's a start!
Regards...Ed
