... the global one-time fix in wording. It has been noted many times that the standard doesn't even require that 2.0+2.0 give exactly 4.0 as a result, but coul.d give a darned poor processsor-dependent approximation of 4.0. If one takes the wording of the cited intrinsics literally, then they say that the result must be pi - not approximation at all, but exactly pi. Of course, that isn't ...

... very strange at first, and sometimes still does. For stream, the idea of the newline function is *NOT* to return whatever the processor uses to physically represent record ends. The processsor might not use control characters at all for that purpose. Rather, the idea is to return something that can be used to indicate that the user wants a new record at that point. This...
