[MIT-Scheme-devel] Re: Scheme and the floating-point environment on Mac OS X

[Will M Farr]

Taylor,

After checking around in the microcode directory, the problem seems to be that 
the preprocessor symbols HAVE_FENV_T and HAVE_FEXCEPT_T are not defined on Mac 
OS X, leading to the duplicate definitions of the types fenv_t and fexcept_t on 
lines 51 and 55 of floenv.c that the compiler complains about.  Based on the 
absence of HAVE_FENV_T and HAVE_FEXCEPT_T in microcode/config.h, I'm wondering 
if these *ever* get defined on any system.  Would it be safe to replace the 
#ifndef HAVE_FENV_T and #ifndef HAVE_FEXCEPT_T on lines 50 and 54 of floenv.c 
with #ifndef HAVE_FENV_H?
