Viktor,
can you please send me a copy of the error-messages concerning rtestprintf.mac?
I developed it with GCL 2.6.8 about one year ago. These days the test runs without errors.
Under the actual GCL 2.6.8 I get one error, which I believe is a) out of my reach and b) not
crucial, so perhaps I will cut it out:
********************** Problem 47 ***************
Input:
printf(false, [~$, ~$, ~$, ~@$], 2, 1.985, 1.995, 2)
Result:
[2.00, 1.99, 2.00, +2.00]
This differed from the expected result:
[2.00, 1.98, 2.00, +2.00]
The old round to even has obviously changed. I believe bankers use round to even. So this
seems to be a GCL bug.
