mrg | branches: 1.16.4;
convert HAVE_GCC handling to modern GCC release numbering:
- HAVE_GCC=5 is now the default (vs. HAVE_GCC=53 we've been using for
GCC 5.4 and GCC 5.5.)
- remove some more GCC 4.8 code. we don't support GCC 4 here.
- adjust set lists to gcc=5 from gcc=53.
add some basic HAVE_GCC=6 handling (totally unused so far.)
|
| 1.15 | 01-Apr-2016 |
mrg | for GCC 5.3 pass -fwrapv as this relies upon well-defined integer overflow.
|
| 1.14 | 19-Sep-2000 |
jdolecek | reimplement expr using lexical parser generated by yacc
highlights:
* / is treated correctly depending upon context (addresses PR # 10995)
* use 64 bit arithmetic, so expr is able to process integer values from
-(2**63) to (2**63 - 1)
* checks for integer over- & underflows added
* error messages improved, more error checking added
add AUTHOR section to manpage
add BUGS section, and mention possible drawbacks with other expr implementations
