30 | This section contains some information about how various compilers work with | |
31 | this library. It is not comprehensive and updated experiences are always welcome. | |
32 | Some effort has been made to suppress unhelpful warnings but it is difficult | |

191 | We have only partial compatibility with this compiler: | |
192 | </p> | |
193 | <p> | |
194 | Long double support has been disabled because the native long double | |
195 | C standard library functions really only forward to the double versions. | |
196 | This can result in unpredictable behaviour when using the long double | |
197 | overloads: for example <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">sqrtl</span></code> | |
198 | applied to a finite value, can result in an infinite result. | |

323 | Long double support has been disabled with these compiler releases | |
324 | because calling the standard library long double math functions can | |
325 | result in a segfault. The issue is Linux distribution and glibc version | |
326 | specific and is Intel bug report #409291. Fully up to date releases | |
327 | of Intel 9.1 (post version l_cc_c_9.1.046) shouldn't have this problem. | |
328 | If you need long double support with this compiler, then comment | |
329 | out the define of BOOST_MATH_NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_FUNCTIONS at line | |
330 | 55 of <a href="../../../../../boost/math/tools/config.hpp" target="_top">boost/math/tools/config.hpp</a>. | |

660 | default acceptable error tolerances are quite tight, especially for long double | |
661 | types with an extended exponent range (these cause more extreme test cases | |
662 | to be executed for some functions). You will need to cast an eye over the output | |
663 | from the failing tests and make a judgement as to whether the error rates are | |
664 | acceptable or not. | |
