| Description: |
Some parts of the Tcl source code use the TCL_NO_MATH macro to avoid calling math routines. Apparently this was intended to support some level of Tcl on systems with no libm. There are five source code files that currently #include math.h, yet only two use TCL_NO_MATH to control. If anyone's using TCL_NO_MATH, it's very likely broken. Keeping it in a broken state doesn't make sense. I'd suggest that keeping it at all doesn't make sense, and purging this un(der)tested configuration is a better idea than continuing to half-support it. | |||
