1997-04-02 16:55 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * manual/socket.texi: Document behaviour of inet_ntoa in multi- threaded programs. * manual/stdio.texi: Change wording for snprintf description a bit. Correct typo in example. * manual/lang.texi: Add documentation of __va_copy. * Makefile: Add rule to easily generate dir-add.texi file. * manual/Makefile: Likewise. * manual/arith.texi: Add description of lldiv_t, lldiv, and atoll. Change description of strtoll and strtoull to make clear these are the preferred names. Describe `inf', `inifinity', `nan', `nan(...)' inputs for strtod and friends. Change references to HUGE_VALf and HUGE_VALl to HUGE_VALF and HUGE_VALL. * sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_nan.c: Use strtod if parameter is not empty * sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_nanl.c: Likewise.
