GSL-1.1.1 on Tru64Unix 5.1 with native cc

[Gerhard Nolte]

Hi All,

I compiled the gsl-1.1.1 library on a Compaq Alpha machine running
Tru64Unix 5.1 
with the native C compiler 
Compaq C Version 6.4 for Compaq Tru64 UNIX Systems

I got several warnings in some functions like 

cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -ieee -fprm d -g -c airy.c  -DPIC -o .libs/airy.lo
cc: Warning: airy.c, line 780: In this statement, floating-point overflow occurs in evaluating the expression "3.4e+39F". (floatoverfl)
      OVERFLOW_ERROR(result);
------^

Tracking down the includes and defines it comes out that INFINITY is
defined as this number (3.4e+39F).

Is it safe to ignore these warnings?


Thanks in advance
Gerhard
