RE: [ng-spice-devel] ACS with the "free" Borland compiler
ACS is indeed compiling now, but I'm getting floating
point errors in that nmos100 circuit. Still investigating.
On that subject, I'm finding that my own version of spice
will handle that circuit ok on my PIII desktop machine
running WinME, but not on my Celeron with Win98. Again,
still investigating.
On the rint() function, one manual I found on the web says ->
-----------------------------------------------------------
rint(), rintf()
Round to the nearest integral value
Synopsis:
#include <math.h>
double rint ( double x );
float rintf ( float x );
Library:
libm.so
Description:
The rint() and rintf() functions return the integral value nearest x in the
direction of the current rounding mode.
If the current rounding mode rounds toward negative infinity, then rint() is
identical to floor(). If the current rounding mode rounds toward positive
infinity, then rint() is identical to ceil().
Returns:
An integer (represented as a double precision number) nearest x in the
direction of the current rounding mode (IEEE754).
-----------------------------------------------------------
Whereas another one says ->
-----------------------------------------------------------
RINT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual RINT(3)
NAME
rint - round to closest integer
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double rint(double x);
DESCRIPTION
The rint() function rounds x to an integer value according
to the prevalent rounding mode. The default rounding mode
is to round to the nearest integer.
RETURN VALUE
The rint() function returns the integer value as a float-
ing-point number.

BSD 4.3

Is the first one a "missprint" ? That is, do they mean that
the current rounding mode applies when the fractional part
is exactly 0.5 ?
Al, what are you expecting rint() to give you ? How exactly
do you set the current rounding mode ?
Isn't C lovely for portability ;-(
Cheers,
Alan
