  30         There was a bug when using any quadmath <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">expq</span></code>
  31         function on GCC : <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60349" target="_top">GCC
  32         bug #60349</a> caused by <a href="http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/bugs/368/" target="_top">mingw-64
  33         bug #368</a>.
  34       </p>
  35 <p>
  36         To work round this defect, an alternative implementation of 128-bit exp was
  37         temporarily provided by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">cstdfloat</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span></code>.
  38       </p>
  39 <p>
  40         The mingw bug was fixed at 2014-03-12 and GCC 6.1.1 now works as expected.
