Description Enji Cooper 2014-07-08 21:23:26 UTC

POSIX claims that powl(3) should be defined via math.h/libm ( http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pow.html) with std=c99, but unfortunately this appears to be broken on FreeBSD 10-STABLE/11-CURRENT. If I remove the "#if _DECLARE_C99_LDBL_MATH" guard from math.h, things compile more cleanly (it just emits a warning about loss in precision because of the imprecise functions). This guard should probably have a !defined(__cplusplus) check added to it.

Before:
