Hello,
I tried compiling this simple program, with GPC RC3 (20020304), with GCC 2.95.3 (20010315).
program espa;
var
i, j, k: integer;
esp: double;
res: double;
begin
for i := 1 to 50 do begin
esp := i * 1000 ;
res := exp ( -esp );
writeln (' Minus the exponential of ', esp :1 :0, ' is ', res :1 :15 );
end;
end.
Surprisingly, and disappointingly, when I run it I get the following result:
espa: error in exponentiation (Numerical result out of range) (error #700 at 8049c75)
while with any Pascal (like FPC), and C compiler, I get no error (like it should be ). It really looks like a bug.
Can anyone help?
Thanks, regards
