GCC 260 Maths Bug
I have just installed GCC 260 on my 486DX266 PC under DOS6.2. This is my 
first encounter with this package and I have found a bug immediately. The 
code below hangs at the double to int conversion in line 7; it should 
generate an overflow error ( or return 0x80000000). Would someone with 
more experience of GCC like to comment.

TIA

Shaw

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{ 
  int i;
  double a;
  a=2.5e10;
  i=(int)a;
  printf("%d\n",i);
  return 0;
}
