Re: text2interval again /



Ah, yes.  That is understood.  However, doesn't
752-2008 specify that, if a recommended function is
supplied, it shall have certain properties for it
to be standard-conforming?

First, the C standard mentions the 1985 version. Moreover, even with
the 2008 version, the math functions are recommended, not required.
So, even though C provides math functions, they are not necessarily
correctly rounded. The error bound may not even be known, making all
IA implementation impossible from the std library version.
